Glades-mageddon Starts Monday

glades1
We previously reported on two repaving projects on Cain Blvd. and Glades Road. The Cain project appears to be done, though it looks like they need to finish painting the lines.
Glades Road is up next.
begin
The work on Cain caused significant traffic problems. We saw some long backups on Glades Road waiting to turn onto Cain, and readers reported problems getting to Eagles Landing Middle School and Sunrise Park Elementary.
The Glades Road project is bigger so we expect even more traffic problems. Below is a Google Maps rendition of that section of road along with some possible escape routes:

If you’re on the far west end of Glades or Palmetto Park, you’ll generally want to take Palmetto Park while this project is ongoing. Riverside Drive and Ponderosa are good ways to get there from Glades. If you’re going south you can continue on Ponderosa down to Judge Winikoff and get out to 441 from there.
Going north we still think Palmetto Park is the best way out, but there is one other alternative. You can go through South County Regional Park to get to Cain and Yamato. It’s normally slow going through the park so this should only be a last resort.
We expect the Glades Road project will take a few weeks.

Roadwork Coming on Cain and Glades

The County Commission recently approved two road projects west of US-441. First up, they’re spending $322K to mill and resurface Cain Blvd from Glades to Yamato. Cain runs parallel to 441, north-south between Boca Isles and Boca Greens.

Next up they will spend $517K milling and resurfacing Glades between Ponderosa and State Road 7 (aka US-441).

From what we can see in the documents, each project should take no more than 30 days. We haven’t heard of a start date yet for either of them.
Once these start we anticipate significant traffic impact, though fortunately both sections of roadway are not as heavily traveled as busier roads like 441 and Glades east of 441. Drivers may divert from these creating more traffic on Palmetto Park Road, Yamato, and 441.
The documents for each are below. First for Cain:

Another Accident at Glades and Cain

A few readers contacted us last night about an accident at the intersection of Glades and Cain. And a couple sent us pictures. Below are our enhanced versions of those images.
We do not have any further details on the accident our any injuries, though one reader pointed out that numerous Fire Rescue units were called to the scene.

If any of our readers have further information polar let us know.

Accident at Cain & Yamato – 2 pm

yamato-cain1
Two readers report an accident at Cain and Yamato shortly after 2 pm today. One sent us photos.
We’re told it’s a multi-car accident. One reader saw two cars with front-end damage. Another reader thinks more cars were involved, and car parts are all over the road.

We see some traffic impact on Google Maps, but the volume at that intersection is not high enough to generate reliable information. We’d suggest avoiding the area for an hour or so.
Update: Another reader sent us two more pictures.
