Drivers traveling south on U.S.1 should continue south to Monterey Road, then to go west to access Kanner Highway, according to FDOT. Drivers traveling north on U.S.1 should take Monterey Road west to Kanner Highway.
Northbound Kanner Highway traffic will be maintained.
Additionally, the main entrance to Poppleton Creek condominiums on Kanner Highway will close for three weeks, 6 p.m. Friday to 10 a.m. June 9, for related water main work, with June 9-12 as contingency dates. Residents should use Palm City Road to access the back entrance of the community at Southwest Riverview Street.
The closures are part of the state's $5 million Kanner Highway resurfacing project, running from north of Cabana Point Circle to U.S.1, according to FDOT. The project began in July 2022 and is to be completed this summer.
The work includes grinding, resurfacing and minor expansion of the existing roadway; upgrading crosswalks and curb ramps to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards; installing sidewalks, signs and pavement markings; and upgrading and restoring pedestrian lighting and drainage.
