Ongoing construction on the St. Mary’s Strip is driving customers away, and business owners say they don’t know how much longer they can operate in the current condition.

Frustrations are boiling over for business owners and employees on the strip. The nightlife has disappeared as people don’t deal with the traffic headache, according to Aaron Peña, owner of the Squeezebox.

Peña said people can’t navigate the street due to road closures and detours. He added that the construction is leading businesses to a breaking point, and employees are looking for other jobs. Peña added, “I’m thinking that a lot of bars, including myself and restaurants -- any nightlife, hospitality that’s on this street -- will not make it past this next year.”

during the 6 p.m. Q&A on Tuesday that the project was being expedited. He’s hopeful the construction will be finished by March 2023.
