GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Alachua County Public Works Department will be performing road construction on SW 8th Avenue and SW 61st Street between Tower Road (SW 75th Street) and SW 20th Avenue beginning September 9, 2024.
The construction will require SW 8th Avenue and SW 61st Street between Tower Road (SW 75th Street) and SW 20th Avenue to be closed to through traffic beginning September 9, 2024.
Detours will be in place to redirect through traffic on SW 8th Avenue/SW 61st Street via Tower Road (SW 75th Street)/SW 17th Road/SW 20th Avenue.
The work is anticipated to take three weeks to complete, and through traffic will be prohibited on SW 8th Avenue and SW 61st Street between Tower Road (SW 75th Street) and SW 20th Avenue during this time. Residents and local traffic will have access to their properties, but through traffic will be required to utilize the detour.
The work will include constructing two raised concrete crosswalks along the SW 8th Avenue/SW 61st Street corridor.
Where’s the transparency? Not a word on the cost. PIOs trying to keep taxpayers in the dark..
This site has a link to a 17-page spreadsheet that lists the costs of each road project for the next 10 years. https://www.alachuacounty.us/news/article/pages/Capital-Improvement-Program-Map-and-Project-Spreadsheet.aspx
I thought they already did that road a couple years ago? Did it get sinkholes or something?
No….they must have more federal DOT $$$ to spend (waste). You don’t think they would spend any of our taxes on roads do you? That’s reserved for the sanctimonious in our fair sanctuary city.
County is doing work on 23rd Ave and now they are starting work on County Road 241. They have several other road projects starting this year.
looks like they are adding sidewalks to it.
err raised crosswalks.. seems like a waste to me but ohh well.
99% of the law abiding public if they know where they are don’t go that way anyways.
