Work to begin on Crystal River High School entrance

Work on new Turkey Oak entrance to Crystal River High School to begin soon

Bids are expected back soon for a county administrated road project to add another entrance to Crystal River High School – this entrance from Turkey Oak Drive. The contractor who wins the bid is expected to begin the project soon, as the expected completion date is the beginning of the next school year.

Engineers estimate the project at around $514,000. It is being paid for by the school board as part of a number of improvements at the school, and the project will be overseen by the county Public Works Department.
The new road will be 1,614 feet in length.

This project consists of the milling and resurfacing, widening, intersection improvements, and signalization at the new entrance of Turkey Oak Drive from approximately 500 feet west and approximately 1154 feet east of the new school entrance.
The widening will include both an eastbound right turn and a westbound left turn lane into the new school entrance. The work will include drainage improvements, sanitary sewer manhole adjustments, installation of new traffic signals at the intersection, signs and pavement markings.
