The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), in partnership with the Citrus County Engineering Division, will begin construction on Monday, November 1, 2021 to add sidewalks near Forest Ridge Elementary School.

Safe Routes to Schools Sidewalk Project to Begin November 1, 2021

The “Safe Routes to Schools” sidewalk project involves constructing a sidewalk, concrete curb, and gutter along Forest Ridge Blvd. in Beverly Hills. There will also be drainage improvements, pedestrian crossings, and signalization work along Forest Ridge Blvd. from CR486/Norvell Bryant Hwy. to W Lake Beverly Drive. The project is anticipated to be complete in spring 2022.

During construction, drivers can expect periodic lane closures along Forest Ridge Blvd. from CR486/Norvell Bryant Hwy. to W Lake Beverly Drive. Lane closures will not be permitted on school days from 8:45 to 9:15 a.m. and 3:30 to 4 p.m. to allow full roadway access during peak school drop-off and pickup times.
