The Florida Department of Transportation and Manatee County posted the following for the week of Feb. 17:
- Gulf Drive South between Fifth and Sixth streets south in Bradenton Beach: A one-lane closure along Gulf Drive South is planned the week of Feb. 17 but the date is dependent on weather and progress of crews working on a pipeline replacement project. The lane closure will be announced via Twitter @manateegov and @pw_manateegov. Motorists traveling on Gulf Drive South should allow extra time to get to their destinations.
