News Release from  Flagler County states that there will be a detour starting on Monday September 26th in the section of Water Oak between Walnut Ave and Mahogany. This detour will last about one month.

“This temporary detour will accommodate the Water Oak Road Improvement Project,” said County Engineer Faith Alkhatib. “The contractor is working on a small segment of the 2.3-mile project between County Road 2006 and Mahogany Boulevard.”

“As part of the ongoing Flagler County Roadway Improvements Projects going on throughout the county, we are working in your neighborhood to install new storm water drainage, rebuild the roadway subgrade and base, then asphalt pave roadway to include 11-foot travel lanes, 1-foot paved shoulders and 5-foot paved residential driveway aprons,” it states. “Utility relocations by AT&T, Florida Power and Light (FP&L), and Spectrum will also be taking place for the new roadway.”

“Flagler County, GAI Consultants, and P&S Paving are committed to working with our residents through the construction period,” Alkhatib said. “Every effort will be made to minimize any inconveniences. Cooperation with construction crews and patience with any brief traffic or access delays is always appreciated.”

The construction work to the road will typically be between the hours of 7am and 5pm. Locals, who live in the area of the detour, will be granted access to their homes during those hours.

Residents have already been provided with flyers and contact info.
