Changes coming to the commute downtown as JEA crews install new lines

Jacksonville, FLA – As the heat continues to hit us this summer, JEA is working to extend two, 20-inch chilled water mains.

And as crews complete that project JEA will detour traffic on A. Philip Randolph Boulevard at the intersection of East Bay Street.

The project is expected to be completed by Aug. 9. JEA said it should not affect Jaguars’ football traffic patterns.

The new piping will supply cold water to commercial buildings, which helps provide cool air through their air conditioner units.

Crews will be working Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., but the road will remain closed for the entirety of the project.

The detour will take you up and around the north side of the stadium on the Arlington Expressway.

JEA said this project will not impact your normal water, sewer or electric services.
