IN THE WORKS
UNDER CONSTRUCTION BEACH ACCESS STAIRS
UNDER CONSTRUCTION FIRE STATION NO.1
Significant progress continues at the new Fire Station headquarters on Ridgewood Avenue. The roof has been poured, and interior framing is nearing completion on the first floor, with framing underway on the second floor. Electrical and plumbing rough-ins are also in progress throughout the building. In the coming weeks, crews will pour the slab in the apparatus bay and south building, complete the roof, and begin installing water lines and stormwater piping.
Construction began recently on the replacement of 14 nine-foot-wide staircases and four ADA-accessible ramps at the boardwalk and Breakers Oceanfront Park. Currently, crews have finished demo of old footers and are building the template to construct the pilings. Next week, they will start forming the pilings heading north to south. The project is expected to take one year, with staircases opening as they are completed. The total cost is $1.5 million, with 85% funded by FEMA and state disaster grants.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION SUNNYLAND PRESS BOX TOWER
UPCOMING DAYTONA BEACH PIER REPAIRS
Progress continues at the Sunnyland Recreation Center press box tower. Blockwork is nearly complete, marking a major milestone in the construction phase. Roof and floor framing are scheduled to begin next week. Once that work is complete, crews will proceed with the interior buildout. The two-story press box tower is being constructed by Saboungi Construction. It has been repositioned behind home plate for a better view with the first floor will featuring a concession stand and a storage room. The total project cost is $292,000. The project’s completion date is late August.
Repairs are planned for the section of the pier between Joe’s Crab Shack and the old Space Needle ride. A deteriorated concrete vault beneath the pier will be removed and replaced with a new support structure and decking. The bases of the old Space Needle and former chair lift ride will remain. Crews will remove damaged plywood siding between the boardwalk and Joe’s, replacing it with open-style wooden railings to reduce storm wind load and reflect the pier’s historic look. Turtle-friendly lighting will also be added. The project will be put out to bid later this year, pending permitting and seasonal conditions.
