This $3.6 million, 2.7 mile construction project began on December 1, 2008, between Via Flora and McNab Avenue in Delray Beach. The work to be performed during this project includes: milling and resurfacing the roadway; replacing sidewalk curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards; and signalization, widening, and storm water drainage improvements at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Congress Avenue. The project is being built by Weekley Asphalt Paving, Inc. and is expected to be complete in fall 2009.
Restriction: Two lanes on Atlantic Avenue will be closed nightly, Sunday through Friday, 7 p.m. until 6 a.m., between Via Flora and McNab Avenue for paving operations through late February. Daytime lane closures will also occur, between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., at Congress Avenue and Atlantic Avenue and other areas within project limits as necessary Monday through Friday. At least one lane will remain open in each direction at all times. Motorists might encounter severe delays through the intersection of Congress Avenue and Atlantic Avenue during non-peak daytime hours, due to project-related work.
