This project involves resurfacing U.S. 17 (State Road 15) from Oak Street to Black Creek and other roadway improvements to help eliminate long delays for northbound traffic on U.S. 17 (State Road 15). The proposed changes were designed alongside the City of Green Cove Springs as part of their Downtown Improvement Plan.

Changes include:

• Constructing intersection improvements at CR 209 (Russell Road) that include replacing the existing traffic signal, adding directional islands in the median, adding a new signal at Mahama Bluff Road, lengthening the northbound left turn lane on U.S. 17, and enhancing roadway lighting. The improvements will coincide with Clay County’s CR 209 (Russell Road) widening project, which is currently in the initial construction phase.
• Modifying the existing median opening at Boivin Road and CR 209. The existing full median opening will be converted to a directional median opening, allowing for southbound to eastbound turn movements from U.S. 17 to CR 209. The proposed changes were designed alongside the City of Green Cove Springs as part of their Downtown Improvement Plan to help eliminate long delays for northbound traffic on U.S. 17.
