Major infrastructure improvements are on the way to Atlantic Avenue in Atlantic City. During the September City Council meeting, a construction contract was awarded to South State, Inc to begin the long-anticipated paving and revitalization of the corridor. Work is scheduled to begin in October.

The project includes a comprehensive set of upgrades designed to enhance safety, accessibility, and mobility. Planned improvements include roadway paving from Tennessee to Albany Avenues, traffic signal synchronization, surveillance cameras, and upgraded pedestrian facilities. Safety features such as high-visibility crosswalks, improved lighting, and ADA-compliant ramps will ensure the corridor is safer and more accessible for all users. Beyond transportation improvements, the Atlantic Avenue Improvement Project will feature streetscape and beautification enhancements to support local economic development and strengthen the community's appeal. Over 200 decorative streetlights, shade trees, and improved signage will help transform the corridor into a vibrant, welcoming destination that better connects neighborhoods, businesses, and regional attractions.

Ducktown Arts District Redevelopment Approved

City Council also approved new zoning standards last week for the Ducktown Arts District, a move expected to catalyze several transformative development projects. These include a planned $75 million flagship production studio by Evolution Gaming at the intersection of Fairmount and Georgia Avenues, and a five-story boutique hotel proposed for the 2300 block of Arctic Avenue.

Baltic Avenue Paving Project Begins

Additionally, milling is scheduled to begin this week in preparation for the paving of Baltic Avenue, from Maine to Missouri Avenues. Initial work will focus on the section from Maine to Pennsylvania Avenues. Motorists are advised to anticipate minor traffic delays along Baltic Avenue and its intersecting streets during this time.
