Lane closures will be in place during various phases of the project. Construction will primarily take place during daytime hours, with occasional nighttime work. Expect nighttime noise from backup alarms, construction equipment, pumps and power tools during daytime and nighttime operations. Drivers are urged to use caution and watch for workers, construction vehicles, pickup trucks, and equipment entering or exiting the travel lanes.

During construction, the speed limit on Gulfstream Avenue and John Ringling Causeway/S.R. 789 will remain 35 mph. Speeding fines are doubled in the construction zone when workers are present. Motorists are urged to drive cautiously and watch for workers, construction vehicles, pickup trucks, and other equipment entering or exiting travel lanes.

The estimated completion date for construction is early 2027.

S.R. 776 from Charlotte County Line to South of U.S. 41: Construction project: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is milling and resurfacing State Road (S.R.) 776 from the Charlotte County line to south of U.S. 41. FDOT is also conducting a median modification project on S.R. 776 from the Charlotte County line to Tangerine Woods Boulevard. While individual project schedules will vary, the combined contract begins in mid-2026 and spans just over eight miles. FDOT will provide weekly RoadWatch updates via the project website.

• Motorists can expect intermittent daytime lane closures as crews prepare and install median modifications in the center lanes. Please slow down and watch for workers and lane shifts during this operation.
• Motorists may experience a temporary moving operation overnight on Friday, October 30, with intermittent lane closures while slow-moving striping vehicles conduct striping activities south of Dearborn Street. This operation may be postponed in the event of inclement weather. Stay alert and watch for workers and construction equipment.
• Motorists will notice lane shifts and concrete bicycle lane separators on northbound and southbound S.R. 776 south of Dearborn Street.
• To keep the road open during construction, motorists can expect crews to work one lane at a time. This may cause temporary uneven pavement sections of roadway.
