WILDWOOD, FL (352today.com) – City of Wildwood officials have announced that Huey St., between Gamble and St. Clair streets, will be temporarily closed to through traffic on Saturday, Oct. 19, and Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024.
The closure is necessary to facilitate roadway rehabilitation, as part of a larger ongoing project focused on utility, drainage system, and street improvements.
While residents within the affected area will still have access to their properties, other traffic will be rerouted by onsite crews. Motorists are advised to expect delays during the weekend closure.
Public Works Director Jeremy Hockenbury acknowledged the inconvenience the temporary closure may cause. “We recognize the inconvenience the work may pose, and I thank residents for their continued patience as completion of this major project moves closer,” Hockenbury said. “This initiative reflects a significant step toward enhancing Wildwood’s growing infrastructure needs and maintaining a level of utility and roadway service that exceeds normal standards and expectations.”
Hockenbury added that the road is expected to reopen before Monday to make sure that there is minimal disruption to the school week. Huey St. is a key route to Wildwood’s elementary and middle high schools, and the improvements will benefit school transportation and general public use.
