Glover Lane sidewalk project

As the Blackwater connector sidewalk project wraps up, the Glover Lane sidewalk project will start the week of Apr. 1. The Glover Lane sidewalks consist of approximately 2,800 linear feet of concrete sidewalk on the west side of Glover Lane from Hobbs Middle School southward to the four-way stop at Glover/Hamilton Bridge Road. The Glover Lane sidewalk project is a joint effort with Santa Rosa County and the Florida Department of Transportation. The total project cost is $216,987.08 with full project funding through the Florida Department of Transportation via the local agency program.

There will be continuous shoulder work zones and periodic lane closures in various locations along the project limits for the duration of the project. The majority of lane closures will be for less than one day. Santa Rosa County urges motorists to observe all warning signs, barricades and traffic flagmen during construction. Citizens are also asked to stay off the sidewalks when the concrete is wet and observe all sidewalk closure signs and barricades as repairs delay progress and cost additional money. Lane closures will be prohibited during pick up/drop off times for Hobbs Middle School should students return to onsite learning while the project is underway.

This project is the final phase of a group of combined sidewalk projects along Rosasco Street, King Street, Byrom Street, Jasmine Street, Susan Street, Walker Street and Baldwin Street in Milton. Bids were received on Oct. 17, 2019 with Chavers Construction awarded as the low bidder meeting specification. With a start date of Jan. 6, the contract time is 210 days with completion by Aug. 2, weather permitting.

Additional info will be released as the other project phases commence. Find a larger view of the project map here. For more information, contact Rebecca Jones, assistant county engineer, at 850-981-7100.
