Oyster Radio: Major road project begins in Wakulla County

Trips to Tallahassee will take a little longer over the next few months especially if you drive at night.

A project to repave a portion of Highway 319 began on Sunday and will likely continue through the Summer.

Drivers will encounter lane closures from south of Wakulla-Arran Road to the Leon County line.

This work is part of a $2.8 million construction contract to resurface the corridor, and perform other safety improvements.

Turn lanes will also be installed at Wakulla-Arran, Ivan Church and East Ivan roads.

Weather permitting, work requiring lane closures will take place at night from 6:30 p.m. until 6 a.m.

The project is expected to be completed summer 2012.
