Beginning November 15, 2021 construction of the San Marco Road and Heathwood Drive Intersection Reconstruction Project will commence. The project consists of a total reconstruction of the intersection to include storm water improvements, roadway elevation, asphalt milling and new asphalt surfaces, new curb and gutters, sidewalks, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) handicap ramps. Traffic flow will be maintained during this project, but there will be short-term lane closures and detours during certain phases of the project.

Construction will begin with installation of storm drainage culverts under Heathwood Drive. During this phase of the project, the road will be closed at Heathwood Drive between Whiteheart Avenue and San Marco Road. There will be detours beginning at the intersections of Heathwood Drive and San Marco Road as well as at Heathwood Drive and Winterberry Drive. A map showing the road closures and detours is attached.

After the culverts are installed along Heathwood Drive, storm drain installation will continue north along Bald Eagle Drive. Drivers can expect temporary delays due to lane closures and lane shifts along Bald Eagle Drive. Please drive with caution and be aware of workers along Bald Eagle and Heathwood Drive. The City will provide updates as the project proceeds.

This Intersection Reconstruction Project is primarily funded through a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) grant as well as a Florida Emergency Management Hazard Mitigation Grant. This reconstruction is part of a Citywide Master Drainage Project to improve drainage in areas that are prone to flooding.

For questions about this project, call City of Marco Island Public Works Department at 239-389-3992.
