Beginning at 4:00 PM on Friday, September 12, Airport Road will be opened the full length of the project from Captiva Street to Somerset Drive. The project consisted of the reconstruction of Airport Road from just west of Captiva Street to just east of Somerset Drive within the city limits. The proposed work entailed reshaping the existing base to allow for placement of a new hot-mix asphalt surface. The reconstructed road has a suburban look with roadside ditches and curb and gutter at select locations. The total length of the project is 3,674 feet.
