Kennedy Drive to West Bay Street \u2014 will be completed sometime in September or October according to Sands.<\/p>\n<p>He also noted that residents in the area have known about the closure for some time as there have been several community meetings over the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is something that we presented from the initial project five years ago,\u201d he noted. Sands added that there will be another set of public updates nearer to the closure of the road.<\/p>\n<p>Baha Mar held an orientation for the new Christie administration on the $2.6 billion project yesterday morning.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #888888;\">Travis Cartwright-Carroll<br \/>\nThe Nassau Guardian<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baha Mar is preparing for the permanent closure of Skyline Drive on July 15.
