No, FDOT would route detour traffic to the route that would a) handle the highest traffic volume, 2) minimize usage of residential streets/secondary roadways, and 3) routes traffic back to the primary roadway as quickly and efficiently as possible. Meggison meets none of these criteria. 470/Central Parkway to 301 and then possibly 44 to I75 will be the primary detour route if needed.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
