Resurfacing 20th Avenue Underway

The Alachua County Public Works Department announced today that the resurfacing of Southwest 20th Avenue is well underway. The $1.74-million project began at the intersection of Southwest 34th Avenue and extends west approximately 1.25 miles to Hog Town Creek. Funding for this project is being provided by the infrastructure surtax, which was approved by the Alachua County voters in 2022.

To reduce daytime congestion, county engineers specified that the work had to be done at night between 8 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. The existing asphalt surface is being milled down 1.5 inches and resurfaced with 1.5 inches of asphalt to provide a new driving surface.

Local paving contractor Preferred Materials, Inc. was awarded the contract and is expected to complete the project in early 2025. Although most of the work is scheduled at night, please expect some delays while traveling on this road during the next few months.
