Ongoing construction will force the closure a portion of Lake Lindsey Road starting Wednesday, transportation officials said.

Part of the road between Jacobs Way and Old Crystal River will be closed until at least April 15. Traffic will be diverted to Old Crystal River Road, Yontz Road and Ponce De Leon Boulevard.

The Phase 2 portion of construction includes widening the road, replacing a large culvert and replacing end walls on each side of the road.
