EP2: Edgewater Drive Phase 2 Improvements

Edgewater Drive opened to traffic Friday, May 19.

This project widened two miles of Edgewater Drive, between Harbor Boulevard and Midway Boulevard, to a four-lane arterial roadway, designed to better serve the central portion of the County and accommodate anticipated traffic growth in the corridor. The project replaced three bridges (West Spring Lake Waterway, East Spring Lake Waterway and Sunrise Waterway) and improved five intersections, four of which will be roundabouts. Improvements also include a raised median, curb and gutter, sidewalks/bike lanes, and landscaping.

Visit the Good News Gallery for progress photos, project renderings and examples of decorative elements.

Important Updates

Edgewater Drive is open to traffic. Additional construction work remains to be completed in all areas. There will be intermittent daily lane closures while crews maintain the median landscaping, maintain curb inlets, and complete work outside the roadway. Some work will require closing portions of the pedestrian pathways to allow crews to complete work without closing travel lanes.

The new traffic signal at Harbor Boulevard and Edgewater Drive is in operation. Street lights are in operation.

See PROGRESS section on website for more details.
