​Drainage Work To Close Thonotosassa Road at Reynolds Street

PLANT CITY, FL -- Beginning at 8 a.m., Monday, Sept. 10, the Florida Department of Transportation will close Thonotosassa Road at Reynolds Street in Plant City.

This closure is necessary for crews to install new drainage pipes under Reynolds Street between Thonotosassa Road and Carey Street. This section of roadway is expected to close for approximately five days, weather permitting.

During this closure, motorists will be detoured around the work zone using Alexander Street, Frontage Road and Wheeler Street. Access to residents and businesses, including DaVita Plant City Dialysis, will be maintained during this closure. Advanced warning signs and electronic message boards will be used to assist motorists traveling through the detour route.

Motorists should anticipate heavier than normal volumes of traffic on all nearby roads during this closure.

This work is part of the $1.1 million repaving project of eastbound Thonotosassa Road/Reynolds Street between Mobley Street and Howard Street. Other improvements include adding pedestrian signals and 5-foot sidewalks along the north of the roadway. The project began last July and is expected to finish this fall.

For information, call 813-612-3200.
