Residents complain of bridge delays and pile-driving noise; town to publish weekly bridge updates and pursue lighting change order
Summary
Residents told council that Pine Tree bridge work is behind schedule; town officials said the overall contract remains on a roughly 310‑day timeline, that pile driving and noisy work are imminent and that the Community Redevelopment Agency may fund half the cost for two bridge light poles.
Multiple residents raised concerns at the Feb. 11 Town of Lake Clarke Shores meeting about the Pine Tree bridge project’s pace and the construction impacts on traffic and neighborhood roads.
Resident Tim Daughtry said he observes “a pronounced lack of staffing” and said the contractor appears to be getting farther behind, recounting that residents were first told the work would take “3 month[s], then 6 month[s]” and now appear to be facing a longer schedule. Daughtry said the delays are “a terrible inconvenience for people at the head of the lake.”
Why it matters: The bridge closure affects traffic patterns, increases volumes on alternate routes and has escalated resident concern about timelines, noise and downstream road‑repair scheduling.
