Residents and visitors of St. Augustine, take note: a major construction project is about to reshape the flow of daily life for many of you. Starting this Wednesday at precisely 8:00 am, Sevilla Street will become off-limits between Valencia Street and Saragossa Street. The disruption, due to essential infrastructure work, is slated to carry on through the sweltering months until summer 2026, according to a social media post from City of St. Augustine - Government.
The project, headed by the firm DB Civil Construction, forms a part of the City's ambitious Capital Improvement Plan; it's an intricate operation that will see installments of fresh underground water and sewer lines, significant enhancements to the drainage system, and ultimately culminating in a full road replacement, and for those immediately affected, fret not as resident access will be maintained alternative parking and arrangements for impacted locals are in the works, with public parking and through traffic being a no-go zone in the affected radius.
These robust civic works may intermittently bring to a halt activities at the Carrera Street intersection, interrupting the usual hustle with the rhythm of construction. Should questions or issues arise regarding the Maintenance of Traffic during this period, Marcus Pinson, the Environmental Project Manager, is the point of contact; Pinson can be reached at 904-201-8841 for any queries or concerns.
