The St. Johns County Road and Bridge Department is scheduled to begin construction on Oak Street in the North Beach Subdivision of Anastasia Island on September 4. The work is estimated to be complete in approximately four weeks.

The project consists of paving Oak Street between 12th St. and 13th St. and correcting the alignment of the existing pavement between 13th St. and 14th St. The improvements made to Oak Street will allow greater accessibility for public and emergency response vehicles, increased visibility of children and pedestrians, and create a safer traffic path for residents whose driveways meet Oak Street.

By paving the uneven dirt section of Oak Street, the County will also eliminate costly grating maintenance. During construction, short periods of road closings are anticipated. Signs will be posted to assist in redirecting through traffic.
