Expect construction along Baymeadows Road for the rest of the year.

The 6.6 million dollar project is expected to be completed early 2018.

•  A left lane on westbound Baymeadows Road turning south on Prominence Parkway

• A left lane on northbound Western Way turning west onto Baymeadows Road

•  Right and left turn lanes will be added at the intersection of Old Baymeadows and Baymeadows Road.
