GREEN COVE SPRINGS – Preliminary fieldwork is underway for the Bonded Transportation Program Project No. 6A, First Coast Connector on County Road 315 from Maryland Avenue to U.S. Highway 17.
Design and surveying operations have been completed. The subcontractor, CSI GEO Inc., will begin geotechnical boring operations on weekdays Jan. 28 through Feb. 1 to obtain soil samples. Pavement cores will be taken in 100-foot increments on both sides of CR 315 and at the intersection of County Road 315-B and County Road 315. Motorists are advised to anticipate rolling outside lane closures.
Work will take approximately three-five days to complete. Dates are subject to change due to weather and unforeseen circumstances.
Road construction on the First Coast Connector, Project 6A will begin in fall 2022 with anticipated completion in summer 2024.
Geotechnical investigations are performed to learn about the physical properties of the rocks and soil near locations that are being considered for construction. Before any ground level or underground work can be done, it’s necessary that those involved in completing the project know what ground conditions they are working with and what they may encounter as they progress. This information is important to ensure that they are using the correct tools for the job and that they will not encounter any unexpected obstacles.
