## About

As of May 17, 2024, all work was completed and the project was final accepted from the contractor.

Work on this project included minor concrete repairs, bridge cleaning, and deck sealing with methacrylate to preserve the bridge decks on both northbound and southbound I-75 over the Withlacoochee River at the Hernando County / Sumter County line. This location is approximately 4.5 miles north of US 98/SR 50 (Exit 301) and just under 2 miles south of Sumter CR 673 (Exit 309).

Nighttime lane closures were used, as needed.
