CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. — Drivers in Citrus County should prepare for potential delays next week as the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) rolls out a series of lane closures on two major arteries.
Starting shortly after the weekend, crews will begin operations on US 19 and SR 44 (Main Street), with work scheduled during both daytime and overnight hours.
Motorists traveling on US 19 between S. Jump Court and W. Fort Island Trail will see the most activity. Officials have scheduled periodic lane closures during the day from Tuesday, January 20, through Friday, January 23, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Nighttime travelers on this stretch of US 19 will also face disruptions. Crews are set to close lanes periodically from Tuesday, January 20, through Thursday, January 22, starting at 9 p.m. and reopening by 5 a.m. each morning.
Significant work is also planned for SR 44, locally known as Main Street. The project covers the stretch from Pleasant Grove Road to Montgomery Avenue.
Unlike the work on US 19, these closures will occur exclusively overnight. Drivers can expect lane restrictions starting Monday, January 19, and running through Friday, January 23. The closures will begin nightly at 9:30 p.m. and lift by 6 a.m. the following day.
Drivers are encouraged to exercise caution in these active work zones and allow for extra commute time while these projects are underway.
