2025 IGH Pavement Management Initiative - Bacardi Avenue & 88th Street Area
Construction Updates
Residents,
The contractor will begin ramping driveways early afternoon tomorrow (8/14), so you will be able to access your property by the end of the day. Additionally, the contractor will begin paving the road approximately at 7am on Friday (8/15). While paving operations are underway, residents may not be able to get vehicles out of their driveways temporarily, if a vehicle is needed on Friday, residents are encouraged to park along Aviary Path prior to paving operations beginning. Residential driveways will remain gravel until the contractor comes back mid next week. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out.
