ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – Last month, St. Johns County Public Works Department updated the community on the progress it is making on more than 10 miles of road construction projects and other transportation improvements at a St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners meeting.
“You guys are doing so much work,” District 1 Commissioner Christian Whitehurst said. “This is going to be a massive improvement on our roadways once these projects are finished. Thank you for taking all of this on at one time.”

Public Works Director Greg Caldwell highlighted these projects during his presentation:
Longleaf Pine Parkway: This project widens over four miles of Longleaf Pine Parkway from Roberts Road to Veterans Parkway from two to four lanes. It also includes installing a traffic signal at the intersection of Shetland Drive and Longleaf Pine Parkway. The project is scheduled to be done by November, but Caldwell said it is expected to be completed early.
County Road 210 West (Greenbriar to Cimarrone): This project will begin at the current four lanes at Cimarrone Boulevard and extend west to the intersection of Greenbriar Road, a distance of approximately 2.3 miles. No timetable for completion was given, but the county said in Sept. 2022 it would take about two years to complete.
County Road 2209 Central Segment: This four-lane section is 7.7 miles from C.R. 210 to State Road 16. The current construction project is 3.9 miles from Silverleaf Parkway to S.R. 16.
County Road 210 East Widening (I-95 to US 1): This project will complete the six-lane widening of C.R. 210 from Trinity Way to Beachwalk Boulevard. This includes the signalization at the intersection of C.R. 210 and Cumberland/Badger Park Drive.
Caldwell said the Capital Improvement Project Public Access Dashboard available here is a great way to stay informed on all transportation projects and projects for parks, stormwater drainage, and facilities.
There are currently 100 projects with a budget of $340.7 million.
