Blackrock Rd Construction Beginning January 21

1/16/2014

4 Comments

 
Please be advised that the Blackrock Road Construction Project will begin on Tuesday, January 21, 2014. This project involves widening of the existing road from SR200/A1A to Heron Isles Parkway, reconstruction of the bridge at Lanceford Creek, and installation of a northbound turn lane onto Heron Isles Parkway from Blackrock Road. The work will occur between 9am-4pm on weekdays and most of the work will require lane closures so motorists should expect some delays. There will also be a 30 day closure of the bridge which should occur sometime during the summer. The bridge closure will be advertised and detour signs will be installed at least two weeks before the closure occurs. All work is expected to be completed by the winter of 2014.

If you have any questions regarding this project, please contact Jonathan Page of the Engineering Services Department at (904) 491-7330 or via e-mail at jpage@nassaucountyfl.com.
