There will be temporary closures of Route 2 along the Okeechobee Waterway from July 27 through July 31.

Boaters are asked to use caution and to expect delays each of those days from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. due to installation of a submerged pipeline.

An advisory from the US Army Corps of Engineers advises boaters to be on the lookout for a spotter boat monitoring the area. The boater is a 21-foot center console.
