DIRECTIONS
The purpose of this project is to resurface this segment of S.R. A1A and evaluate other potential improvements to help manage speeds and to enhance safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. This project is set to begin design later this month, with construction scheduled to begin fall 2025. A public meeting for this project will be held later in design.
Update June 21, 2024
Drilling is expected to start late next week on the buried secant wall along State Road (S.R.) A1A in Flagler Beach. In preparation, crews will assemble the specialty auger cast drill rig mid-week, requiring a single-lane closure on northbound S.R. A1A with flagging operations to maintain both directions of traffic. Lane closures can be expected Tuesday, June 25 and Wednesday, June 26, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. to accommodate equipment movement.
The secant wall is created by drilling concrete-filled piles that are 36 inches in diameter and alternate from about 18 feet to 36 feet deep. For the last few weeks, construction crews have been adding sand to the dune to create a wider, flatter surface and constructing a guide wall that the drill rig will follow.
Use caution traveling through the construction area and be prepared for minor delays during lane closures. Project Information is available on the project webpage at www.cflroads.com/project/452444-1.
Work is continuing along State Road (S.R.) A1A as part of the first of the two buried seawall projects in Volusia and Flagler Counties. Residents can expect to see the construction move into the next phase this month, which includes building the guide wall. The contractor is currently adding sand to widen and level the top of the dune. The project team will be attending First Friday in Flagler Beach and we hope to see you there! Check out the project update video here!

The purpose of this project is to resurface this segment of S.R. A1A and evaluate other potential improvementsConstruction is scheduled to begin the week of March 11 near South Central Avenue in Flagler County on the first of two buried seawall projects along State Road (S.R.) A1A in Flagler and Volusia counties. Drivers can expect single-lane closures as the contractor shifts the travel lanes on S.R. A1A a few feet to the west within the existing asphalt to allow two-way traffic to continue during construction. All work will occur during daytime hours.
After the lane shift, the contractor will begin to remove the rocks that were placed along the dune after the storms in late 2022 to protect the roadway. Short, intermittent lane closures with flagging operations may be needed to accommodate trucks moving into and out of the work zone.
During construction, FDOT will be sending out regular updates. Information will also be available on the project webpage atwww.cflroads.com/project/452444-1.

The dangerous and invasive Brazilian Pepper tree blooms from September through November, and the fruit matures by December. Please, do your part to curb its spread, especially when blooming!
This is one of the most destructive trees growing along the Loop, smothering our native trees and shrubs. If you have this tree in your yard or nearby, please, at the very least, cut all the blossoms and seed branches off the tree so they cannot ripen. Do not handle the tree with your hands - WEAR GLOVES and read the attached link about cutting and disposal of the branches and seeds. Every ripe, red seed eaten by a bird can be further distributed to make more Brazilian Pepper trees.

Mother of Millions or Chandelier Plant (Kalanchoe x houghtonii) is a non-native, invasive plant that displaces our native dune vegetation.
Mother of Millions, so named because of how rapidly it spreads, is a succulent with gorgeous blooms. It is especially harmful to our dunes as it spreads rapidly and displaces native plants. Our native plants have deep roots which help stabilize the dunes while this invasive has very shallow roots which do nothing to help the dunes. These shallow roots do make them extremely easy to pull out and according to a post by ECHO Volusia Forever it's ok to remove these from our dunes and dispose of them in a black trash bag in the garbage or you can report them on the IveGot1 app https://apps.bugwood.org/apps/ivegot1/
