Hawkins Construction Co. has begun installation of new sewer pipes in Anna Maria on North Shore Drive at Cypress Avenue.
A Manatee County Utilities Department press release said the work is not expected to impact traffic in the project area, which is between Cypress and Palm avenues on North Shore Drive.
The Florida Department of Transportation maintenance project on the Longboat Key/State Road 789 bridge will be operational both day and night this week, including some nighttime temporary lane closures that will last no more than 15 minutes. A flagging operation will control traffic during lane closures, a DOT press release said.
No closures will be permitted from 10 p.m.-6 a.m. Friday evening through Monday morning.
The east sidewalk of the bridge is now closed, but the west sidewalk is open. The draw will open for boaters on demand.
The DOT has closed Greer Island — often called Beer Can Island — near the bridge to pedestrians and boaters, citing safety concerns and liability during the project.
Completion of the project is expected in late spring.
