Blanding Blvd Widening Project begins in Middleburg

MIDDLEBURG, FL — Construction is expected to begin on January 16th to widen and improve a section of Blanding Blvd (SR-21) in front of Middleburg High School. The work area stretches between Allie Murray Rd and Long Bay Rd.

Project improvements include widening the road from four lanes to six with full reconstruction, adding four-foot wide bike lanes in both directions, adding six-foot wide sidewalks in both directions, replacing traffic signals, replacing street lights, and construction of a new drainage system.

The FDOT is asking you to use caution in the area, as there will be orange construction barrels and other traffic control measures on the road. Portable changing message signs will be in place to alert drivers of any possible lane closures ahead of time.

The project is expected be completed by Spring of 2021, weather permitting.
