Brooksville drivers should expect overnight lane closures and detours on Deltona Boulevard this week as the Hernando County Utilities Department performs gravity sewer main improvements. Work begins Wednesday, July 22, and runs through Friday, July 24, with an additional night of construction on Monday, July 27. Crews will work nightly from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. each scheduled night.
The closures will affect Deltona Boulevard from Freeport Drive north to the entrances of the RaceTrac and Circle K convenience stores on Deltona Boulevard. Detour signs will be posted throughout the work zone, and motorists are urged to follow them carefully and reduce speed when traveling through the area.
Gravity sewer main systems carry wastewater by natural slope and gravity rather than by pumps, and upgrades to these lines help prevent overflows and improve long-term reliability for county residents. Hernando County Utilities serves thousands of homes and businesses across the region, and scheduled maintenance work like this is typically performed overnight to minimize disruption during peak daytime traffic hours.
Drivers who regularly use Deltona Boulevard for commuting or late-night travel should plan alternate routes during the closure windows. The July 22 through July 24 work schedule covers Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights, with the final night of work returning on Monday, July 27. All closures are expected to end by 7 a.m. each morning, restoring normal traffic flow before the morning rush.
