Roadwork strains traffic on East Venice Avenue
City road crew man Bill Pipkins says the department aims to keep the road open while heavy equipment works on the East Venice Avenue approach to the bridge. One lane, a Florida Street turn, and ongoing construction hinder traffic from the west bridge to the east end. Recent rains have worsened hazards and potholes along the narrow pavement.
