CR101 Road Work?
I saw what looked like surveyors out yesterday on the way to Doggie Doo Run Run which is up CR101 near the intersection of CR104.
My friend Whit mentioned that he had heard a rumor from a reliable source that they were going to do road work on CR101. They did it about 5-6 years ago if my memory is right with repaving and a little widening. It could definitely use re-paving now. Has this been budgeted by the County for repair? Does anyone know when this will happen? This is about a mile north of the Southern Trace Shopping Center. Belvedere becomes CR101 when it crosses CR466. |

I heard they were going to remove some tree roots and center stripe and side stripe the road, no widening.

I talked to Scott this morning. The plan is 101 will be closed for 90 days and they will be rebuilding 101, curbs, drainage the whole works. Detour will be 103 north to 104. 104 is the road that comes out at DDRR driveway. He said the plan is not to block their driveway so they plan on being open. It wil be worth the detour for 90 days.

I don't know, I would imagine that they will make some accommodation for the folks that will be affected. I think that the construction will start where the road narrows now, so Parkwood would not be affected going south. If 104 is the detour than I guess the work would stop at 104 and maybe at a later time extend it north past 104. Scott is very excited about it since the drainage will be a great benefit for the property owners along that stretch.

It sounds like this is a 120 Day Project costing close to $900,000. This is going by the sign they have about the Project -- the company in charge, cost, duration but no other details. The detour is up but you can get to DDRR north on CR101 right now as the work is north of the intersection at CR101 and CR104. You do have to watch out for construction vehicles.

I looked at the CR101 Improvements sign and it says it is funded by the Sumter County Board of Commissioners and estimates the cost at $892,460.00.
The company is C.W. Roberts Contracting. I will look for more information online about this and keep an ear open at Doggie Doo Run Run and other places I might run into people who might have some reliable information. I may check out other places in the Villages to walk Beau and myself though if the construction project becomes a problem with getting to the dog park easily.
