To avoid disruption of business district traffic during the busiest hours, the Avenue will be closed from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily to through traffic.
“Since the project will be completed during the evening and over night, we will avoid causing heavy backups of cars going to businesses and the beach,” Assistant City Manager Khalid Resheidat said earlier today. During the closures, traffic will be routed to Jessamine Avenue, he said.
On the first night, work will be on both sides on Flagler Avenue from Peninsula Avenue to Cooper Street. However, work will move to the section of roadway between Cooper Street and the beach for the remainder of the project. Also Florida Avenue from North Peninsula Avenue to Pine Street will be resurfaced at the same time.
“We realize this is an inconvenience for merchants, residents and visitors,” Resheidat said. “But it’s absolutely necessary to preserve the integrity of the roadway system. We feel drivers will appreciate the project once the new surface is in place.”
Masci Corporation is the contractor for the 14-day repair and resurfacing project, which will be contained to the right of way along Flagler Avenue and include crews and heavy construction equipment.
The two-week road project is costs $196,795 and is being paid through the city’s general fund.
