Major road closure blocks access at Salford and Price, North Port FL
Road ClosureA major road closure at the intersection of Salford Boulevard and Price Boulevard blocks all east and westbound traffic. Residents cannot cross the intersection or easily access their homes. There are no detour signs to guide drivers, causing concern for those living nearby. Alternate routes suggested include traveling north-south roads or taking nearby back roads to reach properties, though these may be difficult to use. Attempts to contact road supervisors for clarity or signage have been unsuccessful.

Take a look at Salford and Price intersection. They're completely blocking it off now, so any resident that lives on this roadway, they're not going to be able to get through.
00:12
Oh wow, yeah, look at that.
00:17
How are you able to tell the superintendent about this quagmire that we have going on here?
00:24
Yeah, I'm laying in line. What was that again?
00:28
They've completely shut down east and westbound price at the westbound side of the intersection, Salford and Price, so nobody can cross over Salford on Price, even if they live over there.
00:49
All right, once I'm done here, I'll try to get over there and take a look at it.
00:54
I'm still trying to get a hold of the superintendent on the phone, so I'll see what I can do.
01:01
I've got the intersection up on the live stream if you still have it on your phone.
01:06
It doesn't look good.
01:10
Okay, Kelly, are you still out there?
01:15
Yeah, Temple, I just talked to them and they said no, they're closing it completely and that the residents can take north-south or make the first left and take the back road and pinch out back on Price to get to their houses.
01:34
Do you relate to them that that's going to be a nightmare?
01:37
They're not going to be able to do it?
01:40
10-4, I did, and it seems like they don't care.
01:46
Okay.
01:48
Layden, what do you suggest? I mean, short of us trying to get the city to put signage out there.
01:55
I mean, it's one of those things that I'm trying to get a hold of the foreman now, but I can't find it.
02:00
Yeah, I don't see any signage up anywhere for detour stuff. I'm flying around the area.
02:08
Right now,
02:09
we're going to let them control the intersection. They own that stuff.
02:13
And when the complaints come in, we can file them towards that company.
02:18
Looking at it, they can't get down that road that parallels price over to race.
02:23
I just don't know about the people that live on that next intersection, because they've also blocked that off.
02:33
All right, ten four.
