Palm Bay, FL -- The intersection of San Filippo Drive and Cogan Drive will be closed overnight on multiple dates in March while crews from contractor Cypress Gulf complete utility construction for the Emerald Lake residential development. The first closure window starts this Sunday night.
Drivers who travel through that intersection after dark should plan alternate routes now. Detour signage and channelizing devices will be in place, but the intersection will be fully closed during each window.
Closure Schedule
The road will close on two separate windows:
March 1 into March 2: 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM (one overnight)
March 8 through March 12: 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM each night (five consecutive nights)
The intersection reopens each morning at 6:00 AM and is open during all daytime hours.
The March 8-12 stretch covers Sunday night through Thursday night into Friday morning. Commuters with early morning departures should factor the 6:00 AM reopening into their timing.
What’s Driving the Work
The utility construction is tied to the Emerald Lake residential development. New subdivisions require water, sewer, and other utility connections to existing infrastructure, and that work often means temporary road closures at key intersections.
This is the kind of construction that happens before a single house is built. Residents in the surrounding area will likely see continued activity at this location as the development progresses.
Questions or Concerns
Palm Bay Public Works is the contact for this project. Residents with questions about the closure, detour routes, or construction timing can call (321) 952-3437.
The city’s original notice is posted on the Palm Bay city website.
