​CR 121 PROJECT UPDATE: FULL ROAD CLOSURE LIFTED
The full road closure on County Road 121 at the box culvert location was lifted last night, marking an important milestone in the project.

Box Culvert Replacement Complete
The box culvert replacement is now complete, and the roadway in the vicinity of the culvert has been reconstructed through the structural asphalt layer.
The work included:

• Removing the existing culvert
• Preparing the site for the new installation
• Installing precast box culvert sections
• Installing a link slab over the precast units
• Establishing access for emergency and construction traffic
• Forming and pouring the culvert end walls
• Backfilling the area and rebuilding the roadway.

To allow the full closure to be removed, temporary barrier wall and temporary rumble strips are being used until the permanent guardrail is installed in the coming days.
Work will continue along the roadway without a full closure or detour. Flagging operations, temporary traffic signals and/or temporary barrier wall will be utilized as needed to manage traffic flow.
Drivers are encouraged to slow down, use caution in work zones and remain alert for crews, construction vehicles and changing traffic patterns.

A Friendly Reminder About the CR 121 Project
As work continues on CR 121, here's a reminder of the overall project and what is included in each phase.

Phase 1: County Line to County Road 119
Phase 1 extends from the county line to County Road 119 and is fully funded at approximately $20 million. The project includes multiple culvert replacements and improvements, as well as complete reconstruction of the roadway from the subbase through the new pavement.

This reconstruction work, beyond the box culvert improvements, has been ongoing for approximately a year and is expected to continue through summer 2027.

Phase 2: County Road 119 to U.S. 1
Phase 2 extends from County Road 119 to U.S. 1 and is funded at approximately $11 million. This funding allowed the County to complete the design, address needed box culvert improvements at multiple locations and address some of the roadway's most severe areas early in the project.

As drivers travel north on CR 121, pavement and base conditions become notably less severe. North of Carroll Corner Road, many of the pavement issues can be addressed through the County's Pavement Management Plan.
​
The County has previously hosted public meetings and workshops regarding the CR 121 project at the Bryceville Community Center and the Board of County Commissioners Chambers. The plans and funding presented during those meetings and documented in official records remain unchanged.

County representatives are available to discuss the project in person with interested residents.

See the Work
Take a look at the photos below to see the progression of the box culvert replacement,  from removing the existing structure and preparing the site to installing the new precast culvert sections, constructing the end walls, backfilling and rebuilding the roadway.

Thank you for your patience as this important roadway improvement continues.

Water service has been fully restored to all restrooms at Westside Regional Park following repairs to a waterline leak that caused a loss of water pressure in several of the park’s restrooms.

Florida Infrastructure completed repairs to the waterline on Wednesday, Sept. 30. Facilities Maintenance was able to restore service to the restrooms at the Competition Fields and Dog Park, while the restrooms near the playground remained temporarily closed while the new pipes were inspected.

Florida Infrastructure returned Thursday morning to check the water flow, and all restrooms are now open and operating normally.

Nassau County is addressing a waterline leak at Westside Regional Park that caused a loss of water pressure in several of the park’s restrooms.

Florida Infrastructure made repairs to the waterline today, and Facilities Maintenance was able to restore water service to the restrooms at the Competition Fields. The restrooms near the Dog Park also remain open and are operating normally.

The restrooms next to the playground remain temporarily out of service. Florida Infrastructure will return Thursday morning, Oct. 1, to check the water flow through the newly repaired pipes. If everything is functioning properly, the playground restrooms are expected to reopen Thursday morning.

Visitors can currently use the restrooms at the Dog Park and Competition Fields.

​
Project Status:
The roundabout and trail remain open to traffic. Remaining work is lighting, punch list, and the final asphalt surface.

Upcoming Next Week:
On Monday, September 21, the new light poles will be delivered and installation will begin. The three existing poles will be deactivated, and temporary lighting will be placed at the intersection until the new fixtures are installed on the poles and energized.
​
Please watch for work crews and temporary lighting during this transition. The temporary lighting is being used so the intersection stays illuminated while the new system is brought online.

Continuing Work:

• Punch list items will continue over the next few weeks
• Final asphalt paving remains on track for the second weekend in October
• Pole installation is being completed before the final lift of asphalt so construction equipment does not damage the finished friction course.

Thank you for your continued patience as we finish lighting, final paving, and closeout.

​Nassau County is continuing its long-term effort to maintain, preserve and improve the local road network through its Pavement Management Plan. During the Wednesday, Sept. 16, Board of County Commissioners meeting, Assistant Public Works Director David Hearn provided an update on current pavement projects, chip seal work and the County’s long-term approach to roadway maintenance.

Letting Road Conditions Drive the Work
A key component of the Pavement Management Plan is ensuring that roadway condition drives decisions about which roads receive maintenance. The County uses roadway-condition data to evaluate and rank roads, helping identify those most in need of work.
​
This data-driven process helps reduce subjectivity in the selection process and ensures roads are considered based on their actual condition rather than individual requests or preferences. Roadway rankings are updated periodically as conditions change, allowing the County to adjust its long-term plan based on current information.

The plan focuses on preserving existing roads and extending their useful life. It is separate from major capital projects, which can include roadway widening, reconstruction and other significant improvements.

Current Roadway Improvements

This year’s level-and-overlay projects are expected to continue through mid-October, with final striping scheduled for November. Roads currently included in the work include:

• Sauls Road
• Sheffield Road
• Sunshine Drive
• Deerwood Drive
• Meredith Court
• Augustus Avenue
• Alison Court
• Cherry Laurel Way
• Harts Road
• Tideview Lane
• Fieldstone Drive
• Arrigo Boulevard
• Sunny Parke Circle
• Forest Parke Drive
• Marblehead Court
• Nassau Place
• Santa Barbara Street
• Sea Island Court
• Friendly Road
• Suarez Bluff
• Karen Street
• Anthony Street
• Orange Avenue
• Marian Drive
• Little Piney Island Court
• Piney Island Drive
• Schuburt Road
• Roxabouge Drive
• Winterberry Avenue
• Louise Court
• Karen Walk
• Mentoria Road
• Pacific Isles
• Burney Road
• Waterway Court
• Barbara’s Place
• Buccaneer Trail
• Rowland Lane

The County is also continuing chip seal work as part of its broader roadway preservation efforts. Chip seal provides a durable surface treatment and is an important part of the County’s long-term strategy for improving dirt roads and reducing the number of roads that require routine grading.
​
Current chip seal projects include:

• Nelson Road
• Littleberry Lane
• Central Road
• Harper Chapel Road
• Eastwood Drive
• Cortez Road
• Rose Street
• Wilbur Jones Road
• Owls Nest Court

Chip seal roads are anticipated to be completed in late October or early November. 

Planning for the Future
The County’s long-term goal is to transition dirt roads to more durable surfaces, reduce the number of grader routes and ultimately eliminate dirt roads by 2055, provided the Pavement Management Plan remains funded.

Reducing the number of dirt roads will also reduce the amount of time and resources required for routine grading, allowing Public Works staff to focus on other roadway maintenance needs.

The Pavement Management Plan provides a long-term framework for making strategic investments in Nassau County’s roads. By regularly evaluating roadway conditions and updating priorities, the County can focus available resources on preserving roads before deterioration leads to more extensive and costly improvements.
