Highway 97 work snarls FL traffic

On the opening day of construction of TH-97 on Monday, July 9, crews were busy tearing up the highway for culvert replacements at Fenway Ave. As crews were working, traffic was backing up along I-35 as commuters learned their way around the road closure. City police reported four vehicle crashes alone on Monday along W. Broadway Ave. Three were at the Lake and Broadway downtown intersection where semi trucks had trouble making the turn to go south on US-61. TH-97 is expected to remain closed until August 9.
