Zoey Fields

One new Clay County road project is scheduled to begin Monday, March 20 in Lake Asbury at the 2700 block of Henley Road; north of Orchard Walk Lane.

The project is for stormwater system upgrades and both northbound lanes of Henley Road will be closed during construction. The two existing southbound lanes on Henley Road will be temporarily shifted to one northbound and one southbound lane for the entire project, Clay County Public Information Officer Annaleasa Winter said.

During construction, the entranceway to Orchard Walk Lane will be closed to traffic and all in and out traffic will be detoured to the south entrance at Plantation Ridge, she said. The northbound sidewalk on Henley Road will be diverted but remain open. Work is expected to take up to three months to complete, including milling and resurfacing.

Clay County has five additional projects that motorists can expect to start soon, Winter said.
