So for pedestrian access, that divergent timer is going to help with traffic flow,” said Juan Carrillo, Senior Construction Project Manager for the Florida Department of Transportation. A few final closures starting Friday night will make for a driver’s dream come true on Sunday. “Our routes. The return detour routes are gonna start on the west side of the Forum. So we have traffic wants to hit North they’ll use the forum or Six miles and Six miles, Ortiz,” said Carrillo. As we near the end of this project, it’s bringing out lots of emotions in people. ” I get frustrated. I get, you know, angry. It’s just it’s all the emotions at once when you’re driving around here,” said Tim. “It’s very exciting to see this happening because it has been a while while working in this project,” said Miss G, another driver. As you spin your tires one last time through these orange cones and detour signs, Keep this in mind: “Everybody wants to go home and share the moment dinner time with families. So why not try to be patient?” said Miss G. The good news is that traffic relief is on the way.
