Aug. 7-8: Work will be conducted on a 2.9-mile section of County Road 240, near its intersection with County Road 243.

Work crews will be active from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Traffic will be reduced to one lane while chip-and-seal projects are in progress, and a pilot car will be used to guide vehicles through work zones. Motorists can expect delays of up to 20 minutes and are urged to drive cautiously through work zones.

Projects will conclude on scheduled completion dates, weather permitting.
