Current Status and Next Steps

As of August 31, construction progress is 48% complete. Concrete has been placed for 10 of the 13 bridge support pier caps. Girders are set for six of 12 of the bridge spans. Concrete for the roadway bridge deck and pile driving for the west abutment of the bridge will begin in late September 2026.

Work on the stormwater pond at Stumpy Lake has resumed and is nearing completion. Drainage and roadway work continued east across Indian River Road and onto Savannah Way. The first 17 posts and foundations for Sound Wall #3, between Orchard Hill Lane and Savannah Trail, have been installed.

What to Expect During the Project’s Construction

  • The contractor’s typical work hours are from 7 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday, but residents can expect construction activities, including pile driving operations, to continue into evening and possibly early nighttime hours in accordance with City Ordinance.
  • During pile driving, nearby residents will notice noise and may also experience vibrations from the operations.
  • Weekend work may occur on Saturdays, if necessary.
  • Nighttime work may be necessary with City approval (prior notice will be provided).

Taking the ‘Elbow’ out of Elbow Road: Construction Progress from Above

Project Overview

The Elbow Road Extended Phase II-B & II-C project will realign Elbow Road into a four-lane section extending from Salem Road to Stumpy Lake. The project includes relocating the Elbow Road and Indian River Road intersection and providing alternative access for adjacent commercial, residential, and recreational areas. 

A key feature of the project is the replacement of the existing 20-foot bridge over the North Landing River with a new 1,050-foot bridge that spans the wetlands and the 100-year floodplain. The new roadway will have a posted speed limit of 45 mph.

Other Key Features

  • 8-foot sidewalks
  • On-road bike lanes
  • LED streetlights
  • Noise barriers
  • Storm drainage ponds and landscaping
