The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has begun work on the much needed intersection improvements at A1A (AKA S. Ponte Vedra Blvd.) and Mickler Road. The improvements include adding a light and a turn lane. These improvements should help this accident-prone intersection. The FDOT will be holding an open house on Thursday, September 4th to discuss the improvements. All are invited. Here are the details:
FDOT Open House
When: Thursday, September 4, 2008, 1-2 p.m. and 5-6 p.m.
What: Open house to discuss a road construction project at Florida A1A and Mickler Road
Who: Transportation officials will be available
Where: Crosswater Community Church at 1050 Florida A1A N.
The $2.2 million project, which was set to begin Tuesday, will involve resurfacing portions of the road and installing a traffic signal at the intersection.
The work will include resurfacing A1A from Gnarled Oaks Drive to Mickler, widening the road for new left turn lanes from A1A North to Mickler Road and Ponte Vedra Boulevard, replacing and realigning portions of the sidewalk from Gnarled Oaks to the Overlook business complex, constructing pedestrian islands at the intersection and constructing three drainage ponds. During construction, a temporary pavement and barrier wall will be on A1A, Mickler and Ponte Vedra Boulevard for traffic shifts and to protect workers and motorists. Daytime lane closures will occur during construction, but not from 7 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 6:30 p.m.
