ALACHUA COUNTY, FL – Alachua County Public Works is informing citizens with a monthly press release with updated information on the 16th Ave Mill and Resurface Project. The contractor has completed milling and resurfacing the first layer of asphalt from NW 55th St to NW 43rd St (0.75 miles) and has completed sidewalk widening from NW 51st St to NW 43rd St (0.5 miles). Milling and resurfacing asphalt pavement and sidewalk widening will continue throughout April and motorists should expect nighttime lane closures (7 p.m. to 7 a.m.) from NW 58th Blvd to NW 13th St and daytime lane closures from NW 51st St to NW 43rd St, from NW 40th Ter to NW 34th St and from NW 31st Ter to NW 16th Ter through.

In addition to previously mentioned daytime and nighttime lane closures, the corridor will be reduced to one lane in each direction from approximately NW 31st Drive to NW 22nd St so water main relocation, gravity wall replacement, and reconstruction work (clay removal) can begin.

The current estimated completion date for the entire project is November, 2014.
