Citrus Resurfacing Projects Underway
Pet Patrol
A resurfacing project will be accomplished on some major roadways in the weeks
ahead throughout Citrus County. These roads include CR 491 from W. Noble St. to Grover
Cleveland Blvd., CR 495 from N. Turkey Oak Dr. to U.S. 19; and CR Road 581 (North)
from Grain Ct. to E. Banks Ct.
This project includes the milling up of the old surface and re-paving with new as-
phalt and new striping. The work on all three roads should be completed by Saturday, May
12, depending on inclement weather. Permanent striping will be done in 30 days.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane during construction. Some work may be done
at night to reduce traffic interruption.
This Project is co-funded with FDOT through the Small Community Outreach
Program (SCOP). FDOT is providing 75% funding and the County is providing 25% fund-
ing through the Gas Tax Program.
The contractor, D.A.B. Constructors Inc., of Inglis started the project on Monday
April 30 on CR 491. CR 581 will be next and they will finish with CR 495. For more infor-
mation, please contact the County Engineering Department at 352- 527- 5446.
