This project involves clearing the shoreline area of all vegetation and trees, installing a mesh fabric with a rock layer and then installing rip-rap around the entire shoreline. The project also requires restoration of landscaping, trees, irrigation and any Golf Cart paths. The main staging area for this project is Sunset Park, which will be closed for the duration of this project.

The contractor mobilized today (29 Jan), and will primarily start at the rock quarry in the Southern area of The Villages to prepare, size, sort and stage the rip-rap material before starting site clearing at Sunset Park. Once the contractor mobilizes at Sunset Park (Mid-February), there will be impacts to both Golf Cart Path and Morse Boulevard Traffic.

Flaggers will be in place to direct traffic and/or close traffic lanes in the work zone, in particular when construction vehicles are commuting the bridge and island area. Construction is scheduled to take up to 240 calendar days (September 2024). Work hours will be 7AM to 7PM from Monday to Friday. Again, lane closures on the bridge will likely begin starting in early to mid-February. Flaggers will be onsite and visible to coordinate golf, pedestrian and vehicular traffic through the work zone for the duration of this project.

We appreciate your patience as we work with the contractor to ensure this project is completed in a safe and timely manner. Thank you in advance for your understanding. If you have any questions, please call District Property Management at 352-753-4022."
