LAKE COUNTY, FL (352today.com) – Lake County’s Office of Communications announced this morning that construction work has begun on Britt Road, the Mount Dora thoroughfare that became impassible back in October 2024, when Hurricane Milton struck North Central Florida. Britt Road is designated as a Federal Aid Highway, which means it qualifies for financial assistance from the federal government for repairs and maintenance through the Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP). “After overcoming what felt like insurmountable odds, I’m incredibly relieved to see that crews have officially begun work on Britt Road,” said Leslie Campione, chairman of the Lake County Board of County Commissioners. I can’t wait until Britt Road is fully reopened to serve the community again.” The county expects the restoration of the thoroughfare to be done in October 2026–perhaps even on the two-year anniversary of its destruction?
