Port Canaveral reopens road

· Thursday, August 22, 2013

   Traffic is moving this morning on Dave Nesbit road along Port Canaveral’s southside after being shut down since May for reconstruction.
   The project involved road realignment, installation of underground utilities, new sidewalks and paving from George King Boulevard in front of the port’s Welcome Center to Mullet Road. It’s part of a $6 million Cove Road Development Project, including landscape improvements to the area, the Florida port authority said.
   “The end result of this inconvenience to the port tenants and local residents soon will be offset by the new entry and the soon-to-be completed landscaping improvements and the opening of the welcome center this fall,” said John E. Walsh, port chief executive officer, in a statement.
