Windley Key Transmission Main Replacement Project

Project Summary:

  • In May 2024, we began replacing 8,250 linear feet (approximately a mile and a half) of the existing 30-inch transmission main in Windley Key with a new 36-inch cathodically-protected steel water main. 
  • As of December 13, 2024, all 8,250 linear feet of the new pipe has been installed.
  • The new transmission main was installed between the Whale Harbor bridge crossing to just south of Snake Creek.

Permanent Road Striping 

Paving is complete and crews will begin permanently striping the roadway on January 21, 2025. Striping will take place at night and take approximately 7 to 10 days to complete. A rolling lane closure will be in effect for this work.

Safety reminders

  • The Florida Department of Transportation doesn't permit left-hand turns in the work zone.
  • Continue past your destination, make a U-Turn when legal to do so, and make a right-hand turn into your destination.
  • The speed limit is 35 MPH through the work zone.

Project Details: 

Why did the transmission main have to be replaced? 

Because clean drinking water is a MUST. As pipes age, they become more susceptible to corrosion, leaks, storm surge, and other effects.

How much did this project cost?

The Windley Key Transmission Main Replacement Project cost approximately $15 million. The project was partially funded by the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2014 (WIFIA), a federal credit program.
