ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. \u2013 Construction began Monday to replace the seawall along State Road A1A from the Bridge of Lions to Charlotte Street in historic downtown St. Augustine, the Florida Department of Transportation said.<\/p>\n
Work is scheduled to finish in Fall 2027, weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting. Vecellio and Grogan Inc. was selected to complete the $19.9 million project.<\/p>\n
Construction will take place mainly by barge to minimize traffic impacts, and pedestrian detours will be installed during work, FDOT said. Traffic will be maintained in accordance with FDOT design standards throughout the project.<\/p>\n
Planned improvements include replacing the seawall, reconstructing the promenade, removing and rebuilding timber pergolas, removing an event platform and replacing the post-and-chain barrier with a solid 3.5-foot coquina concrete wall, along with other incidental construction.<\/p>\n
