Residents and commuters in Nassau County, Florida, will need to brace themselves for a slight disruption as the Capital Improvement Projects Department has announced an infrastructure upgrade that will see the Chester Road and Pages Dairy Road intersection temporarily shut down. According to a Facebook post by Nassau County, the project is set to start on April 1st with an expected completion date of April 4, all dependent on the whims of the weather and any unexpected developments.
The work involves reconstructing both the mentioned intersection and the Water Forced Main on Chester Road just across the David Hallman Parkway intersection, this will lead to the closure of Chester Road to the Entrance of Home Depot for the duration of the work. Traffic flow will nonetheless be maintained, no doubt a relief to many, and will be managed according to the Florida Department of Transportation design standards the county has assured drivers that there will be a detour in place via Courtney Isles Way to Chester Road and from the Home Depot Parking Lot to SR 200 / A1A.

Nassau County officials seem to be conscientious about the impact of this construction, believing that the short-term inconvenience will likely lead to long-term benefits.
