Repair work continues along Pine Island Road
As part of the Emergency Restoration of the Pine Island Road Causeway and Bridge, crews will be working in the project boundaries along CR 78 Pine Island Road from west of Little Pine Island Bridge (Bridge No. 120111) to West of Shoreview Drive.
According to the Florida Department of Transportation, crews are working through the week, including weekends, to complete the south side wall. Pile driving on the south side is complete and the contractor is working on construction of the cap.
A traffic shift is expected by mid-September, moving work to the opposite side of the road so crews can begin driving sheet pilings on the north side.
Motorists can expect temporary, intermittent lane closures with flagging operations.
Pedestrians and bicyclists are not permitted within the construction zone.
Noise from construction equipment in the area is to be expected.
FDOT has asked that drivers please use caution and watch for workers and construction vehicles entering and exiting the roadway. Drivers are also asked to please be patient and plan for additional travel time as it may be slower than usual in the area.
