Clearwater Beach Marina Replacement Construction Project

Temporary Closure

The Clearwater Beach Marina replacement project construction is currently impacting the sidewalk that runs along the seawall on Coronado Drive. The closure of the sidewalk is expected to last throughout June. During this time, pedestrian traffic will be rerouted with detour signs. The sidewalk closure is a necessary part of the construction, which is currently underway.

Construction work will be loud but is a necessary construction process. Pile driving, or the process of driving vertical columns into the ground to build piers, will occur between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. only, per city noise ordinance. Multiple vibration alarms will monitor the process to prevent damage to surrounding structures.

Clearwater Beach Parking

The construction project has decreased the amount of parking available in the marina parking lot. Parking for marina patrons can still be found at the marina parking lot as well as other parking lots and garages located on Clearwater Beach. A temporary parking lot has been added along the Memorial Causeway for construction crews and marina employees.
