St. Johns County motorists, brace for traffic adjustments. Due to urgent infrastructure repairs, JEA has initiated work at the intersection of Race Track Road, Bishop Estates Road & Durbin Creek Blvd starting October 15, 2024. The reason is a water main break nestled beneath the pavement calls for immediate attention.
The consequence for traffic flow comes with both westbound lanes on Bishop Estates Road & Durbin Creek Blvd being sealed off from the driving public. This closure is in effect until further notice, a disruption set to reroute daily commutes and travel plans alike. Motorists are advised to seek alternative pathways, as JEA along with St. Johns County Public Works, and the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office are managing the scene. Patience is encouraged, as the snarl of traffic adjusts to these new boundaries.
Those requiring further insight or a voice to answer their queries can reach out to Sammy McKinnon, the Road & Bridge Superintendent for the St. Johns County Road and Bridge Division. Unavailable for comment, the published statement informs that McKinnon can be directly contacted at 904-209-0266 for more information regarding the ongoing project and traffic concerns.
The full extent of the impact on the traffic is currently unfolding, and estimates on the duration of the closure remain uncertain. JEA assures that crews are working diligently to resolve the issue as soon as humanly possible. Updates on the progress of the repairs and any potential traffic changes will be provided through official channels, ensuring that residents stay informed every step of the way.
