LARGO, Fla. \u2014 Drivers are still dealing with detours on Rosery Road in Largo, even though the project was originally set to be done in August.<\/p>\n

Rosery Road has been open only to westbound traffic between Eagle Lake Park and Missouri Avenue for the past year-and-a-half.<\/p>\n

The project is to enhance the road with drainage improvements, upgraded water mains and improved sidewalks.<\/p>\n

Largo resident Greg Fudela said the construction has affected traffic and daily life near his home on Rosery Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was fine. Up until a year and a half ago, when they started doing this project,\u201d Fudela said.<\/p>\n

Fudela said he has dealt with noise, detours and debris near his home during the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, it\u2019s been frustrating trying to drive around here. I mean, you have to loop around,\u201d Fudela said.<\/p>\n

Largo officials said the construction is continuing because a future pavement project was added to the end of the current project. They said that will extend the work until October<\/a>, but it means drivers will not have to deal with another closure later. The city also says crews will clean up construction-related debris.<\/p>\n

Fudela said he wants the work to be finished soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes me almost want to put up a \u2018For Sale\u2019 sign in front of my house,\u201d Fudela said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to listen to bulldozers and dump trucks every day. For a year-and-a-half?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LARGO, Fla. \u2014 Drivers are still dealing with detours on Rosery Road in Largo, even though the project…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399652,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[274,2178,2179,2200,115,202,204,203,199,201,200,135,7227,278,729,2032,835],"class_list":["post-399651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-app-top-stories","tag-app-traffic-inbox","tag-inbox","tag-instagram-bn9","tag-news","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news","tag-tampa","tag-tim-wronka","tag-top-stories","tag-traffic","tag-trending-topics","tag-vod"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
