Sea Isle Boulevard
The Cape May County Board of Chosen Freeholders, at their May 13, 2014 meeting, awarded a $12.7 million contract to South State, Inc. for the Sea Isle Boulevard Improvement project that will raise the roadway by approximately 4.5-feet and otherwise reconstruct Sea Isle Boulevard. Traffic has been diverted to the south side of the boulevard; and the contractor has placed fill on the north side of the causeway to an average height of about 6.5-feet, which is 2 feet higher than the eventual height of the completed roadway. The additional 2 feet, which will be removed prior to the next construction phase, is surcharge to compress the underlying layers of soil. The goal is to obtain as much settlement as possible prior to paving on top of the new fill. The current plan is to start paving of the north side this coming fall.
The entrance to the northbound parkway has been reconfigured in order to provide room for eastbound vehicles to travel around vehicles making a left turn onto the parkway entrance. Motorists are advised to be aware of the revised traffic patterns in the construction zone and the reduced speed limit.
On September 13, at the City Council meeting, County Engineer Dale Foster led a presentation updating council and the public about the project and upcoming schedule of activities.
