I couldn't believe it. I thought I was seeing a mirage when I saw this dump truck at SR 56 and Mansfield Blvd. this morning. A Pasco County official confirmed that work has FINALLY resumed on the
SR 56 extension to Meadow Pointe Blvd. Work on the extension was
halted in February of this year. The final 1 inch layer of asphalt will be put down, striping done, and the construction barrels removed for an opening in 20-25 work days. Also, the traffic lights at Mansfield and Meadow Pointe Blvd. are a separate project and their installation is not required to open the extension to Meadow Pointe Blvd. Pasco County engineering is projecting a late July opening (weather permitting). So, once again we have a date.
