CLEARWATER – Work on South Gulfview Boulevard should be completed in May, at which time the road and new promenades will be opened for the public.
There will be one northbound lane and one southbound lane, which is the final configuration of South Gulfview Boulevard. The only portion of the east side walkway that will remain closed is in front of the Hyatt Aqualea construction site.
When South Gulfview Boulevard opens, workers will move to Coronado Drive, where on-street parking, final asphalt and more lighting will be added. This is expected to take two or three months.
New sand volleyball courts are available south of Pier 60, and showers along the beachside promenade are working.
The targeted date for substantial completion of the Beach Walk project is before Super Bowl 2009, but all work should be done in July, well ahead of schedule.
