Gulf Drive lane closures

The Florida Department of Transportation began the permanent striping of State Road 789/Gulf Drive Nov. 1 and advised motorists to expect some lane closures.

Temporary lane closures and other construction will occur between 7:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m., a DOT press release said.

Other improvements during the three-week construction period involve removing old asphalt and resurfacing the roadway, installing highway signs, marking pavement and some sidewalk improvements.

Weather permitting, the project should be completed by Nov. 22, the DOT said.
