Sidewalk Work to Result in Intermittent Closures of Southbound Curb Lane on Highway 17 Between Barefoot Landing and Commons Boulevard

On February 11, Benton Concrete will begin installing a 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk along the west side of Highway 17 between Barefoot Landing and Commons Boulevard. A majority of the work will be performed behind the curb.  Intermittent closures of the southbound curb lane will be required in order to allow trucks to pour concrete from within Highway 17. Each closure will last about 40 minutes. The sidewalk project is projected to be completed in two to three weeks, depending on weather conditions.

The sidewalk project is the first phase in achieving connectivity of the sidewalk system on the west side of Highway 17 between 46th Avenue South and Commons Boulevard. Proposed intersection improvements on Highway 17 between 48th Avenue south and Barefoot Resort Bridge Road will complete sidewalk connectivity.
