Spring Hill, FL – Drivers in central Hernando County are facing significant delays this morning after a traffic crash forced the closure of a major roadway in Spring Hill.
According to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office, Powell Road is completely blocked westbound at Cedar Lane due to a traffic crash. The closure was reported earlier today, and motorists are being urged to avoid the area and use alternate routes if possible.
Officials say the roadway is expected to remain closed until the scene can be cleared, which typically takes 60 to 75 minutes, depending on the severity of the crash and cleanup requirements. No injuries or additional details about the vehicles involved have been released as of this update.
The closure is impacting traffic in Spring Hill, located in Hernando County, north of the Tampa Bay metro area, a region that sees heavy commuter traffic during morning and afternoon hours. Drivers traveling westbound on Powell Road should plan for extended delays and watch for law enforcement directing traffic around the closure.
Authorities are also reminding drivers to follow Florida’s Move Over Law, which requires motorists to slow down or move over when approaching emergency vehicles stopped along the roadway.
