Detour

Most of us remember a little storm last year by the name Hurricane Irma. Aside from roughing up our docks and blowing down our trees, Irma also caused the Starlite Princess Dinner Cruise Ship to break free and drift into the bridge between Isla Key and Isla Del Sol. This caused damage to some of the power lines across the span. Duke Energy is now in the process of installing new lines.

Instead of installing aboveground lines, Duke Energy will be boring a new power line under the channel. This work will require them to excavate and install access boxes in the area of our current cart path behind #2 green heading towards the bridge. As a detour, the contractor will be providing a temporary path in the location where the original path was many years ago. They will be exposing the old asphalt where available and adding stone where necessary in order to provide us with a continuous path. Barriers will be installed to guide us along the correct path.

Our carts will continue along the property line with La Puerta until we near the water where we will be able to turn under the bridge as usual.

This will be the new angle of approach heading to the bridge

Upon completion of the project, the contractors for Duke Energy will once again provide us with a permanent path solution to travel between holes 2 and 3. They are estimating the work to take approximately one month.
