Eastbound Venetian Way between E Di Lido Drive and the first grassy man‑made island will be impacted. The northbound lane of E Di Lido Drive between Venetian Way and 4 Di Lido Terrace will be intermittently closed, with access limited to local traffic. Police and flaggers will be on-site to support traffic flow and manage lane detours. The south sidewalk on Venetian Way, east of E Di Lido Drive, will be closed. Pedestrians are advised to use the north sidewalk.

We kindly ask residents and local traffic to please be mindful of the following:

  • Reduce speed and follow posted construction-zone speed limits.
  • Follow signs, pavement markings, barricades and directions from flaggers.
  • Maintain a safe following distance from other vehicles and construction equipment.
  • Expect sudden lane changes, reduced lanes and delays.
  • Consider alternate routes when available.
  • Do not enter closed lanes, construction areas or drive around barricades.
  • Use designated pedestrian walkways and crossings only.


What Residents Need to Know About their Water Service

Residents are encouraged to prepare in advance by storing an adequate supply of water for drinking, cooking, hygiene and other essential household needs before the scheduled interruption.


Once service has been restored, you may notice temporary discoloration, cloudy water or air in your plumbing lines. These conditions are normal and should be resolved by running the cold water from a faucet for several minutes until the water runs clear.


Possible Precautionary Boil Water Notice

While every effort will be made to complete this work without incident, there is a possibility that a Precautionary Boil Water Notice may be issued for affected properties following the scheduled water service interruption. The issuance of a boil water notice is a standard public health precaution whenever the water distribution system experiences a loss of pressure or is temporarily shut down.


If a Precautionary Boil Water Notice becomes necessary, affected residents will be notified promptly and provided with instructions regarding the advisory and when it has been lifted.


Timeline

The contractor will continue daily operations from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Final completion of the project is expected by Fall 2026.


The above noted lane closures, schedule and work hours are subject to change due to weather and/or other unforeseen circumstances.
