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 transitioning into Phase IV. Following a re-evaluation of the temporary traffic plan, the contractor must keep the westbound sidewalk and bike lane closed and the current traffic pattern will remain the same. Please be aware that Phase II has not been completed and that the contractor will return to this phase at the end of the project.

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. Please know that this timeline 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.
