Jacksonville – Work is expected to begin August 22 on the reconstruction of a multi-use path along approximately one half-mile of State Road A1A (Heckscher Drive) from the Ft. George Trailhead to Huguenot Park. The project includes construction of a 10-foot-wide paved path, retaining walls, a stand-alone 12-foot-wide path bridge structure over Haulover Creek, modifications to existing storm drain systems and relocation of existing utilities.

Project contractor Vecellio and Grogan, Inc. is expected to complete the project in early 2019, weather and schedule permitting, at a cost of about $2.7 million.

Traffic will be maintained in accordance with FDOT design standards throughout the project, and the posted speed limit of 50 mph will remain in place. Most work will take place during daytime hours Monday through Friday. No lane closures will be permitted from 6:30 to 9 a.m. and 3:30 to 6 p.m. seven days a week. Lane closure notices will be available at www.nflroads.com. No pile-driving operations will be permitted from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. Monday through Friday and on weekends.
