Temporary Closure Planned Next Week on Sassafras Street Extension

​In order to complete additional drainage work in connection with the Bayfront Parkway Improvement Project, Sassafras Street Extension will be closed during work hours on Monday, July 8, 2024.

The street will be closed between the intersection with the Bayfront Parkway and the intersection with Front Street. It will be reopened when work is completed.

During the closure, access to the waterfront businesses on Sassafras Street Extension will be available through the detour posted using State Street and Front Street.

Following the closure, drainage work will continue along Sassafras Street Extension. Drivers may encounter lane restrictions with traffic controlled by flaggers.

Additional lane restrictions and traffic shifts remain in place on the Bayfront Parkway near the intersection of Sassafras Street Extension as construction continues on the future roundabout at that location.
