UPCOMING EVENTS

The St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop (SJR2C) is a 260-mile paved, multi-use trail project underway in northeast Florida that runs through five Florida counties:  St. Johns, Putnam, Flagler, Volusia and Brevard. To lfind out more about the River-2-Sea Loop visit their website:  https://river2sealoop.org 

Recently a project engineer for the River-2-Sea Loop Project, Phase One, in Volusia County provided us with the following information:

“This project will make improvements along State Road (S.R.) A1A from north of Granada Boulevard (S.R. 40) to north of Roberta Road in Ormond Beach. The asphalt shared use path is part of a larger roadway resurfacing project to improve safety for all users.  

The design for the project incorporates elements proposed to the community through the North Ormond Beach Area Coalition planning effort. To help encourage safer driving speeds, the project will introduce subtle alignment shifts and add curb and gutter along parts of the corridor.  Improvements also include adding left turn lanes at the intersection of Neptune Avenue for enhanced traffic operations.

Pedestrian safety enhancements include new sidewalk where possible on the east side of the road, as well as a shared-use path (asphalt) on the west side of the road. Existing pedestrian curb ramps will be upgraded to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Raised mid-block crossings with pedestrian activated signals will be installed. Traffic signal, lighting upgrades and drainage improvements will also be included.”

Three new crosswalks equipped with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are planned at Holland Road, Seabreeze Drive and Michael Crotty Bicentennial Park. The RRFBs flash when activated to alert drivers if someone intends to cross A1A.

Phase 2 will begin at Roberta Road and run all the way to the Flagler County Line. We have spoken to FDOT and asked them to hold another public information meeting sometime soon. Meanwhile, please read (and save) the official document from FDOT about this project and pass it along to your neighbors and friends living beachside who will benefit in knowing this information:  CLICK HERE FOR INFO

The construction team for the S.R. A1A buried seawalls project is excited to share the updates below, along with a project update video linked here. S.R. A1A Buried Seawalls Project Update Video April 2025
North wall (North of Highbridge Road in Volusia County to South Central Avenue in Flagler County)The contractor has successfully completed drilling the concrete piles for the buried seawall in both the Flagler and Volusia County sections! We're excited to share that the Flagler County segment of the wall is now finished, and the contractor is focusing on enhancing the landscaping and applying the finishing touches on the beach walkovers in that area. Meanwhile, crews are diligently working on constructing the concrete cap over the completed piles in the Volusia County portion. We anticipate that the entire wall will be fully completed by the end of June, with grading and landscaping concluding this summer. 
South wall (South of Sunrise Avenue to Marlin Drive in Ormond-by-the-Sea, Volusia County)Construction is progressing from north to south, with over 50% of the concrete piles completed on the southern wall. The contractor is working efficiently and is ahead of schedule, aiming to finish 80% of the wall piles by the start of hurricane season on June 1. Once the piles in a section are completed, the contractor will begin constructing the concrete caps. After the caps are set, the contractor will regrade the dune and start the walkover reconstruction and landscaping. Residents can expect the walkover reconstruction to proceed from north to south, with the first walkover scheduled for rebuilding in May. The construction team will keep property owners informed about the timeline for their walkover reconstruction. The southern wall is expected to be largely finished by late fall 2025, with the entire project anticipated to be completed by early 2026. 
To keep our workers and the community safe, please stay out of the work zone and use caution when driving through the area.
Project information is available on the project webpages at https://www.cflroads.com/project/452444-1and https://www.cflroads.com/project/452443-1. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. 

The detour will be reinstated on Monday, March 24 after Daytona Bike Week and Spring Break. In addition, daytime flagging operations have been added at the intersection of Neptune Avenue and Halifax Drive and at the two golf course crossings located on the eastern end of Neptune Avenue to help manage traffic flow and assist with pedestrian crossings.
This is the first of three nonconcurrent detour segments. The closure dates for future segments will be announced subsequently
For more details, please see the attached flyer, which includes information on the Segment 1 detour and a map showing flagging locations.
