PINE ISLAND, Fla.: As a part of the Emergency Restoration of the Pine Island Road Causeway and Bridge, motorists can expect temporary, intermittent lane closures with flagging operations along CR 78 Pine Island Road from west of Little Pine Island Bridge (Bridge No. 120111) to West of Shoreview Drive.

During the week of April 30 – May 6, crews will begin clearing the construction zone, installing temporary asphalt and installing a low-profile barrier. Please be patient as travel may be slower than usual.

Pedestrians and bicyclists are not permitted within the construction zone. Expect noise from construction equipment in the area and use caution and watch for workers and construction vehicles entering and exiting the roadway. 

Beginning in June, crews are expected to begin driving sheet pile in the south side of the roadway.
