2/1/19 @ 2:45 p.m. - Below is lane closure information for the week of February 2 through February 8, 2019. NOTE: THIS INCLUDES A DAYTIME LANE CLOSURE TO THE LEFT WESTBOUND LANE BETWEEN CHESTER ROAD AND RUBIN DAVIS LANE ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2019.

Representatives from the Florida Department of Transportation told County Officials last week that they would do what they can do eliminate daytime lane closures, however the original agreement with the contractor did not require the contractor to do so. Nassau County will continue to urge FDOT to have this contract updated to eliminate daytime lane closures. In fact, Senator Bean emailed the project manager today requesting that the daytime closure this weekend not take place. At this current time, we are unsure if the daytime closure will actually occur, however we are sharing this as a precaution to keep the residents informed of the possibility.

2/1/19 @ 2:30 p.m. - A traffic shift for State Road 200 between Chester Road to Nassauville Road is scheduled for February 8-February 10, 2019. The eastbound traffic will be shifted to the newly constructed asphalt in the middle of the road to allow for re-construction of the old east bound roadway. This means that both directions of traffic in this area will now be on new pavement for the rest of phase of the overall project and not the old deteriorating roadway. This is very exciting news!

This is being done in conjunction with Phase II of the overall State Road 200/A1A Widening Project. Phase II is a 4.9 mile project between Rubin Davis Lane and Nassauville Road. This entire segment is anticipated to be completed the spring of 2020.

If you have any questions, please contact England, Thims & Miller at (904) 265-3151.

1/18/19 @ 2:50 p.m. - On Tuesday, January 15th, County Manager, Mike Mullin, and Board of County Commissioners Chairman, Justin Taylor, met with Senator Aaron Bean, Representative Cord Byrd, and representatives with the Florida Department of Transportation regarding various issues related to the State Road 200 construction project, specifically road conditions, timing of traffic signals, and lane closures.

The two hour event consisted of a sit down meeting in which County representatives shared common concerns expressed by the public and the affects the construction has on our residents and their daily commutes. Following the meeting, everyone participated in a ride-along where County officials were able to provide visuals related to the public's concerns.

Overall, the meeting was successful in demonstrating the need for timed lights and elimination of daytime lane closures. FDOT representatives tentatively agreed to allow the County to operate the timing of traffic signals so they can be adjusted as needed and to move more lane closures to nighttime.

Thank you to Senator Bean, Representative Byrd, and FDOT representatives for visiting Nassau County and getting first-hand look at how the construction is affecting our residents and working with us to develop a plan to alleviate some of these concerns.
