Each month Aaron Cutler, construction manager, updates the council and the public regarding the status of the pipeline replacement project.  As the current project work moved from Plantation Key across the Tavernier bridge the traffic back-ups got significantly worse northbound approaching Tavernier Towne and Mariners Hospital.  Cutler indicated this phase of the work will take about 6 more weeks.  “Thanks for your patience.”

Once the work there is completed near the end of April, the FKAA will go back to trench in 4 or 5 areas of the new pipeline to connect to the old pipe.

NEXT UP - Fills and Lower Mat: The next segment to be undertaken according to Cutler will be from Indian Key Fill down to MM72: the Fills and Lower Matecumbe.
