Periwinkle milling, resurfacing project to begin
The city of Sanibel reported that the Periwinkle Way Milling and Resurfacing Project will begin on Sept. 15. The stretch of Periwinkle included in the project is from 500 feet west of Casa Ybel Road to about one-third of a mile east of Donax Street.
The work will begin with drainage repairs that will occur along the north side of Periwinkle, including swale and concrete pipe installation on Main Street, Fitzhugh Street, Palm Street and Center Street. The hours for the drainage repair work will be between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Within the next few weeks, the milling and paving of Periwinkle will begin in the evening and overnight hours from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. The city will provide notice through a news release and post the information on the city’s Facebook page and website when that phase of the project is set to begin.
Access to residences and businesses will be maintained at all times. The public is reminded to drive slowly and cautiously through the work areas when workers are present. The contractor will have signage and flaggers present to direct traffic.
The entire project is estimated to take about 120 days, weather permitting.
