It’s part of a major widening project.

Big improvements are coming to State Road 426, Broadway and County Road 419.

So, a traffic shift is going into effect, and it will be in place until further notice.

Along the 426, it will start at Pine Avenue and extend east to Avenue B.

That’s about a mile and a half.

It will convert a two-lane roadway into a four-lane divided urban roadway.

It will include a 22-foot wide median, a bike lane and sidewalks.

You must take it slowly and give yourself some extra time for this shift.

Eastbound traffic on the 426 will stay on the southernmost outside lane.

If you’re heading westbound, that traffic will shift to an entirely newly paved northernmost outside lane.
