Road closure extended

Construction of a new drinking waterline under the Manatee River will impact traffic longer than expected. 

To complete the Fort Hamer waterline crossing project, Manatee County Public Works has closed Winding Stream Way from Upper Manatee River Road to the second gate into the Waterlefe community. 

The road has been closed since April 28 and was originally rescheduled to open May 12, but county officials have extended the closure to June 12. 

The waterline project is designed to provide connectivity and support to other waterlines across the county.
