Sea Lane Bridge Replacement Update

As previously announced, the Sea Lane Bridge is scheduled for replacement beginning in October. We initially anticipated closing the bridge and the adjacent pathways during the first week of October, but the official closing date has been rescheduled for 10/31/2022. Despite the delayed closure, we expect the contractors to begin mobilizing in the construction area(s) during the week of 10/24/2022.

During demolition and reconstruction, the bridge will be closed to all traffic (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and boats). This project will include drainage improvements, roadway paving, and pathway work on Sea Lane starting at the intersection of Mooring Buoy. Detour routes are shown on the map below. Additionally, directional detour signage will be placed throughout the community.

Detour Routes

• Inbound & outbound Sea Lane residents and guests north of the bridge must use the Mooring Buoy/Port Tack route.
• Inbound & outbound Lee Shore residents and guests must use the Mooring Buoy/Port Tack route.
• Inbound & outbound Weather Shore residents and guests must use the Mooring Buoy/Port Tack route.
• Inbound & outbound Starboard Tack residents and guests must use the Mooring Buoy/Port Tack route.

Please use caution when driving, walking, and biking along the detoured routes, especially during the evening hours. Typical traffic patterns have been detoured due to construction, so you can expect higher-than-normal traffic volumes along these routes.

Thank you for your patience as we complete another phase of Palmetto Dunes’ multi-year bridge replacement program. We will provide regular updates as the project progresses. If you have any questions about this project, please contact our Director of Projects & Facilities, Jeff Starr, at jstarr@pdpoa.org.
