Overnight Lane Closures and Detours to Start Sunday
City of Wildwood officials are announcing construction on Signature Drive to improve safety, traffic flow, signalization, signage, utility infrastructure, and stormwater management.
Temporary lane closures and short detours are scheduled between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m., starting Sunday and continuing several weeks. These include the southbound right-turn lane onto State Road 44, northbound left-turn lane onto State Road 44, and through lane on Powell Road. Detours will be active only during night work. Access to businesses will be maintained throughout the project.
Message boards and advance warning signs have been placed to alert drivers. A traffic control officer will be present during active operations. Drivers should expect reduced speeds and brief delays while work is in progress.
The project will realign and expand Signature Drive, adding dedicated left-turn, through, and right-turn lanes in the northbound direction along with a single southbound lane.
“While Signature Drive is not a residential neighborhood, it supports a heavy and increasing load of commercial traffic, including trucks, equipment, customers, and employees,” said Public Works Director Jeremy Hockenbury. “This work will greatly enhance safety and efficiency in the area. We are eager to bring these improvements to our community.”
The city awarded the contract to Tallahassee based C.W. Roberts Contracting after a competitive bidding process. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2026 at a cost of approximately $428,500.
