Venetian Causeway Water and Sewer Main Replacement

Project Advisory: Monday, August 7, 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

The contractor has completed the water main connections and will begin closing out Phase IV of this project.


Road repaving will commence on the north side of the causeway on Belle Isle and Rivo Alto. This work is expected to be completed by this week. The contractor will then proceed back to Phase II of this project, with traffic maintenance shifting to the south side of the Causeway.


Timeline

A full project closeout will take place by the end of the fall 2023. The project team anticipates that all traffic impacts will be removed by end of September 2023. 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 schedule may change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.
