The project is going to take more than a year and will run from Briercliff Drive to Michigan Street.
it’s project that’s going to take more than a year… and will likely influence every aspect of the lives of drivers and residents around downtown Orlando.
“It has to be done,” said one resident, Francesca. “It’s not really a road to construction. It’s an infrastructure project for what’s underneath the road. We’ve had lots of road construction in the several units. So, you live with it.”
The Delaney Avenue Project will include new sidewalks, new sewer system and stormwater improvements and will be divided in four phases – each of them lasting about four months.
Construction was originally set to have started back in April, but due to conflicts with other construction projects, it will now star on May 14.
Mari, a resident of the area, is concerned about traffic and hopes that they complete the construction in a timely matter.
“That they completed timely, and that they’re careful just not to affect the traffic and also like there are a lot of residents in the area that do take the bus to get downtown for instance, to the Phillips Center,” Mari said.
