Flagler County officials advise residents that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will begin buried seawall construction near South Central Avenue in Flagler Beach beginning the week of March 18. It is the first of two such projects FDOT is undertaking along State Road A1A in Flagler and Volusia Counties.
“This is not one of our projects but because it will impact Flagler County residents and visitors – especially with some schools having Spring Break this week – we want to help get the word out to our community,” said County Administrator Heidi Petito. “There are some expected lane closures as the work progresses, and we ask for your patience during the construction.”
The contractor plans to place construction-related signage in Flagler County from just north of South Central Avenue in Flagler Beach and extend it southward to just below the county line, according to FDOT.
Following the signage placement, it is anticipated the construction team will begin working on Thursday, March 21, to shift the travel lanes on State Road A1A a few feet to the west within the existing asphalt. This will allow two-way traffic to continue during construction. All work will occur during daytime hours but will require a single-lane closure with flagging operations from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day.
Project information will be available at www.cflroads.com/project/452444-1.
