Siesta Key road resurfacing project resumes Monday

Interrupted for months in the aftermath of three tropical systems striking the area, the resurfacing and milling operations on Siesta Key are scheduled to resume Monday, Jan. 13. 

The work will be completed on local and residential roads first before turning attention to main thoroughfares.

Construction will occur 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Mondays through Saturdays, not including holidays. The project is expected to be completed in summer 2025.

Resurfacing of Beach Road is scheduled to begin after April 20 with all work occurring overnight to avoid peak tourist season traffic and to minimize impacts. 

The Siesta Key work is part of a Sarasota County-wide roadway resurfacing program. The project includes milling and paving, pavement striping, Americans with Disabilities Act ramp modifications, curb repairs, roadway base repairs and school zone signage improvements.

Motorists may expect some lane closures and should seek alternate routes where possible. During construction, emergency vehicles will maintain unrestricted access. Pedestrians and motorists should use caution while traveling through the area and expect some minor delays.
