Lane Closures Anticipated on Halls River Road for Utility Project

Citrus County Utilities will be completing utility work in preparation of the re-

placement of the Halls River Road Bridge. This will require lane closures on Halls River

Road to allow staff to access the utility lines. Work is anticipated to begin in late March,

pending weather conditions, and should be completed in approximately three weeks. The

actual replacement of the Halls River Road Bridge is scheduled to begin in June 2016. We

ask everyone to use caution in this area. For questions, please contact Water Resources De-

partment at 527-7646.
