Meanwhile, Bayview Drive between Little and Big Bay Point Road is closed to northbound traffic, with one lane open for southbound vehicles. Access is blocked from Big Bay Point Road, so the road is only accessible from Little Avenue.
The improvement project will include widening Bayview Drive to three lanes, including a middle turning lane, plus the addition of bike lanes and a sidewalk.
The City anticipates most of the construction to be done next year, with the project wrapping up in 2026, though no specific timeline was provided.
