The east and west approaches of the Venice Avenue Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway will be cleaned and coated beginning Monday, May 10, according to Sarasota County Public Works.
The project is expected to begin with the concrete bridge railings followed by the bridge fascias and, finally, the bridge bents. The work will require occasional daytime closures of the bridge sidewalks (one bridge sidewalk will remain open at all times); occasional daytime closures of parking under the bridge; night closures of the pedestrian stairs; night closures of American Legion Way and Seaboard Avenue immediately under the bridge; and night closures of the Venetian Waterway Trail. SCAT bus service will not be interrupted by the project.
Motorists are asked to use extreme caution while traveling through the project area and to stay alert for changing roadway conditions, as motorists and construction equipment share the road. Anticipated completion of this project is June 2021.
