Bay Boulevard milling and resurfacing expected in early May; council cautioned about event conflicts and access disruptions
Summary
Ajax Paving will mill and resurface Bay Boulevard beginning in early May for about 10 days; staff warned of significant travel disruptions and urged coordination with upcoming events and parades.
Port Richey staff told the council that Ajax Paving is preparing to begin milling and resurfacing of Bay Boulevard in early May, with the project expected to take roughly 10 days. Staff said advance notices and signage will be posted at least two weeks before work begins and that because Bay Boulevard provides sole access to the city’s West Side neighborhoods, the work is likely to cause significant travel disruptions.
Council members asked whether the schedule could avoid conflicts with the city’s parade and other Centennial events; staff said the contractor’s schedule opened earlier than anticipated and that asking for a later start date could delay the project further. Staff also said work may include single‑lane ingress/egress and that temporary overnight or daytime work schedules are still being finalized.
Council asked staff to communicate schedules to residents and to attempt to coordinate start dates around the city’s planned events. Staff will provide specific start dates to the council once Ajax confirms them.
