Motorists and cyclists on State Road A1A near the Boynton Inlet can expect traffic delays this week due to temporary lane closures that are expected as part of a bridge improvement project there.
Pedestrians will also be affected at the A1A bridge that connects Ocean Ridge to Manalapan.
Florida Department of Transportation officials have announced that one A1A lane in each direction will be closed intermittently for joint repair and overlay work from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 2 through Feb. 6. There may also be intermittent sidewalk closures for under-bridge work during those same periods.
The $579,000 FDOT project includes “repairing, painting, and sealing the bridge, sidewalks, railings, and sea wall to strengthen the structure and extend its lifespan,” according to the deparment. The work will add non-slip surfaces on the bridge deck and sidewalks to improve safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
The overall project, which started in January, is expected to be completed by the summer, the department reported.
