A portion of Parkdale Boulevard is closed while an East Lee County Water District culvert is repaired. It usually has high traffic, connecting State Road 82 to Homestead Road.<\/p>\n<p>Residents are worried that high traffic is now being detoured through their quiet neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p><em><!--more-->The Gazette<\/em> found out the county took additional steps on Friday to make drivers more aware of the closure. But that&#8217;s after they received some complaints.<\/p>\n<p>Parkdale Boulevard is typically pretty busy. It&#8217;s a route that connects SR-82 in Lehigh to Homestead Road.<\/p>\n<p>The Lee County Department of Transportation initially had two signs up on Parkdale warning drivers and they developed a detour.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve continued to kind of revise that and tweak that to make people understand that the roadways closed,&#8221; said David Loveland, Lee County Department of Transportation<\/p>\n<p>Just this morning, they added three more signs on Homestead and SR-82, plus additional detour signs.<\/p>\n<p>Now, some residents are happy to see the culvert is being taken care of. It&#8217;s expected to be repaired by September 7 &#8212; after that, the Lee County DOT has to fix the road, which could take another week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A road closure is causing some confusion and some concern.
