Eyes on the road – 10-16-2019

The Florida Department of Transportation and Manatee County posted the following for the week of Oct. 14:

  • Bay Drive South in Bradenton Beach: Manatee County’s AMI Pipeline Replacement project involves work on Bay Drive South continuing north to Bridge Street, shifting to Church Avenue and continuing on Church to Cortez Road. Construction is expected to conclude in December.
  • Longboat Pass Bridge: Repairs on the Longboat Pass Bridge on Gulf Drive between Bradenton Beach and Longboat Key continue. Overnight work requires decreasing lane sizes, flagging operations and occasional lane closures.

The DOT said the contractor has about another month of work. “Weather delays, holidays and unforeseen conditions prompted the longer timetable,” according to DOT spokesman Brian Rick.
