Motorists in Cortez and Bradenton Beach may want to be alert to the continuing Cortez Bridge Utility Relocation Project along Cortez Road West through the village of Cortez westward to the Bradenton Beach side of the Cortez Bridge.
According t the weekly update, on Dec. 9 and again on Dec. 16, the contractor will be transporting pipes on the south side of Cortez Road West on the right of way between 119th Street West and Avenue B.
To minimize traffic impacts, the work will be performed between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. Vehicle travel lanes will be open on Cortez Road West, and a detour will be in place for pedestrians and bicyclists. There also will be intermittent flag operations.
Construction and related road closuures and detours are expected to continue through Spring 2025.
For more information, contact Tina Allen, community outreach representative for the project, at 941-306-4660 or info@amiprojects.io.
