Franklin County Commissioners have approved a third extension
for repairs to Alligator Drive at Alligator Point.
The county is replacing about 1100 feet of the two-lane road
and rebuilding the shoulder, both of which were damaged by a nine-foot storm
surge during Hurricane Michael in 2018.
The road also was damaged by Hurricane Hermine in 2016.
The project has been affected by supply chain delays that has
significantly stalled the project.
The latest delay is with the concrete for the poured in place
concrete cap along both the gulf front metal sheet pile wall and the interior
vinyl sheet pile wall.
Duke Energy has also been slow to relocate their power poles,
junction boxes and supply lines along the right-of-way
The construction of a 630,000 square foot Amazon Fulfillment
Center in Tallahassee has reduced the concrete supply and caused extended
delays in delivery dates for large projects.
Because of the delays the completion date for the project has
now been moved back from July 23rd to September 21st.
