The roundabout at William Burgess Boulevard and North Harts Road is expected to ease congestion in the area.

YULEE, Fla. — A new roundabout in Yulee officially opened Monday following months of construction delays and detours.

The roundabout at the intersection of William Burgess Boulevard and Harts Road received approval to open after a final inspection by Nassau County on Friday. Holland Contractors was tapped for the project, created as part of a developer agreement between Greg Matovina & Associates and the county.

The new addition is aimed at easing congestion in the area, which is expected to see significant development and population growth as part of Nassau County’s long-term plans for the district.


The project was previously projected to finish at the end of January, according to the county, but even that would have been far later than originally intended. Construction completion was initially targeted for July of 2025, but the county said the contractor had been delayed due to FPL and an overhead powerline project. 

Throughout this time, there were multiple detours to allow crews to work safely.

“We recognize the project took longer than anticipated and appreciate the work of the contractor in navigating challenges along the way. We would also like to thank Greg Matovina & Associates for their investment in improving mobility and traffic flow in this area,” the county wrote on social media.

“Most importantly, we thank the community for their patience throughout construction. We hope the new roundabout improves travel through the corridor and that residents are pleased with the final result.”
