The Florida Department of Transportation is conducting a three-month repair project on State Road 64/Manatee Avenue West from Perico Bay Club to Palma Sola Boulevard.
A flagging operation to keep vehicles moving will be in place in the event of any lane closures. The project is expected to finish in late July.
The DOT began repairs to the Cortez Bridge April 28 with an expected completion in January 2015. The bridge will remain operational for motorists and boaters.
Any lane closures will be 9 p.m.-5 a.m. weekdays. If the bascule is raised for repairs, it will be for no more than a 15-minute duration between 2-3 a.m. weekdays, the DOT said.
