Construction continues in downtown Sarasota

Road closures due to Main Street improvement efforts continue this week.

The city of Sarasota will close a portion of Main Street from the roundabout south of Five Points Park to Mira Mar Court Wednesday, Oct. 9, and Friday, Oct. 11 during the day, according to a city news release. The roadway will be open Thursday, Oct. 10.

The closure will allow crews to install a new brick crosswalk as part of the $1.8 million Main Street improvements funded by the city and the Downtown Improvement District.
