The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) along with its contractor, AJAX Paving Industries, will make improvements to US 41 in Sarasota County beginning in early September. Crews will remove old asphalt and resurface the roadway from Woodmere Road to the Lowes entrance, and replace traffic and pedestrian signals. Lane closures are not permitted during the following times: • Northbound US 41 - 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. • Southbound US 41 - 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The $2.8 million project is expected to be complete in spring 2016.
