The Florida Department of Transportation reports that traffic will be paced slowly (about 15 MPH) by law enforcement officers for approximately 20 minutes in each direction of I-75 sometime between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 24 and Friday, June 25. Northbound traffic control will begin at SR 56 (Exit 275) and southbound pacing will begin at CR 41/Blanton Road (Exit 293). The traffic pacing is needed for installation and removal of Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative overhead electric transmission lines at Overpass Road (about halfway between Exits 279 and 285).
Traffic entering the interstate from interchange or rest area ramps within the pacing zone will not be able to enter until the front of the pacing operation has passed and law enforcement reopens the ramps. Motorists should allow up to 30 extra minutes for their drive time through the area if they plan to pass through the area during the time period when the pacing operations may be taking place.
