SARASOTA COUNTY – Resurfacing and milling operations will resume on Monday, Jan. 13, for Siesta Key. The project was suspended due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton and to allow time for recovery efforts in the area.

 

Below is a map showing the roads that will be resurfaced and those that have been finished so far. Work will be done on local and residential roads first.

 

Construction will occur Monday through Saturday 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., not including holidays. The project is expected to be completed in Summer 2025.

 

The resurfacing for Beach Road is scheduled to start after April 20 and will occur at night, to avoid peak tourist season and minimize impacts. The community can learn more about the project on the county website.

 

Resurfacing Siesta Key is part of a Sarasota County-wide roadway resurfacing program. The project includes milling and paving, pavement stripping, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramp modifications, curb repairs, roadway base repairs and school zone sign improvements.

 

All motorists may expect some lane closures and should seek alternate routes whenever possible. During construction, emergency vehicles will always have unrestricted access. Pedestrians and motorists should use caution while traveling through the area and expect some minor delays.
