Jacksonville, FLA – As the heat continues to hit us this summer, JEA is working to extend two, 20-inch chilled water mains.
⚠️ TRAFFIC ALERT: A Philip Randolph Blvd. at the intersection of E Bay St. will be closed and detoured to complete the installation of two chilled water mains. The detour will start Mon. July 8 and remain closed through Aug 2024. https://t.co/P49CfOGnDK pic.twitter.com/PYzb7V1k6J

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.
