Venetian Causeway Water and Sewer Main Replacement

Project Advisory: Wednesday, June 21, 2023

The Venetian Causeway Water and Sewer Main Replacement project is underway. The contractor is working to replace the old water and sewer main with new pipes that will be installed underground.


Project Update

This project is currently in Phase IV. The contractor is working to chlorinate and test the water main. Once clearance is granted, a temporary water shutdown will take place on Belle Isle to ensure connections are made. The date and time for this shutdown will be provided in a future notice. 


The contractor will also replace the eastbound water main on the Dilido bridge. This work is expected to be completed by next week and will not impact the timeline of this project.


Timeline

A full project closeout will take place in the fall, but the project team anticipates that the existing traffic impacts will be removed by the end of the summer. Regular work hours will continue Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with weekend work approved on a case-by-case basis.


This schedule may change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.


Phase IV – Traffic Changes

  • The westbound lane on Venetian Way between Island Ave will be closed.
  • The westbound lane between East and West Rivo Alto will be closed.
  • The westbound bike lanes and sidewalks on Venetian Way between Island Ave will be closed.
  • The westbound bike lanes and sidewalks between Rivo Alto Island and E San Marino Drive will be closed.
  • On Di Lido Island, a work zone will be set up, blocking the westbound right turn onto E Dilido Drive.
