Continued Delays As SR 40 Rolls On

    The Florida Department of Transportation’s SR 40 project in the Astor Park area is continuing, with intermittent lane closures expected to continue in the Astor area through Father’s Day weekend. After underground work that included the installation of a French drain system under sections of the road, a deep milling and repaving project is expected to continue for several weeks.
   The project, covering a total of 7.6 miles from the St. Johns River Bridge west to almost SR 19, has been budgeted at $10.1 million.
   This week, contractors are working in the area of SR 40 and CR 445A. Detours in the area might cause periodic delays.
