The City of Palm Bay and Brevard County have agreed to reconstruct Babcock Street between Weiman Road and Willowbrook Street. The project will resurface the three-mile corridor, which serves as a major north-south route for drivers in the area. Brevard County will manage construction, while Palm Bay will inspect work within its city limits and coordinate with the county throughout the project. Construction begins March 4. Work will happen overnight from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. to avoid disrupting daytime traffic. The project is expected to take three weeks, weather permitting. Message boards along the corridor have already been installed to inform drivers about the work. The city and county signed an interlocal agreement to split responsibilities. Brevard County will oversee operations, while Palm Bay will ensure compliance with city standards. Officials said the collaboration will streamline the process and reduce delays. The project includes repaving, utility upgrades, and drainage improvements. Drivers should expect overnight lane closures and reduced speeds during construction. The county has shared the schedule with local businesses and residents. No detours are planned, but traffic may be slower near the work zone. The project is part of broader efforts to improve infrastructure in Palm Bay. County officials emphasized the importance of minimizing disruptions. The final phase of work is expected to wrap up by mid-April. Residents can contact the county’s public works department with questions about the project.
