closeReconstruction of the existing roadway from a two-lane to a three-lane, divided urban section from Beach Boulevard to Crystal Cove Drive and from Osprey Point Drive to Atlantic Boulevard. These sections will include raised medians, utility improvements, a closed drainage system, bike lanes, sidewalks, and stormwater ponds. From Crystal Cove to Osprey Point Drive, the roadway will be resurfaced with the addition of shoulders, left-turn and right-turn lanes for site access and continuity of the sidewalks. The project involves a complete overhaul of the stormwater collection and conveyance system on the corridor and realignment adding new turn lanes to reduce queuing and improve traffic flow. The design for these improvements is primarily based on addressing safety and drainage improvements.
The construction is complete and currently in the punch out period for final review and acceptance by JTA and the City of Jacksonville. The contractor is completing the final clean up items and addressing any inspection deficiencies that were identified during final inspections.
As part of this acceptance review the roadway profile was measured and identified some areas where the contractor will have to address the pavement smoothness. They have scheduled this corrective work for nighttime operations on Wednesday, January 29th thru Friday, January 31st. Once these items are addressed the contract will schedule his striping subcontractor to overlay all the project roadway striping with the final thermoplastic product.
Final activation of the new streetlights by JEA is also waiting on JEA to schedule their crews to place their power poles and connect the lighting system for the new poles placed along the corridor. JEA will be activating the new additional streetlights as soon as possible once crews can be assigned to this work.
We thank you all for allowing us to complete this project, JTA is excited to deliver this long-awaited project and complete the improvements to the San Pablo Corridor.
The project will reduce traffic congestion and provide safety enhancements for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians.
