AMELIA ISLAND PARKWAY/BUCCANEER TRAIL ROUNDABOUT - WEEKLY UPDATE

Activities completed the week of May 25, 2026:
• Final mixing and grading of limerock base along the south leg of Amelia Island Parkway has been completed
• Continued embankment grading in preparation for the shared-use path around the roundabout.

Anticipated activities for the next two weeks:
• Beginning on Monday, June 15, 2026, southbound traffic will be routed via the Simmons to Fletcher detour route for installation of the concrete base and brick pavers for the truck apron
• The truck apron will be constructed in two short phases lasting a maximum of two weeks, weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting
• Northbound traffic through the roundabout will be maintained throughout the installation of the truck apron. Drivers will be able to take Buccaneer Trail northbound through the roundabout to points northward
• The previously extended traffic signal timing at Amelia Island Parkway and Fletcher Ave has remained in place to account for the temporary rerouting of southbound traffic
• Paving operations for the south leg of AIP will commence the week of June 22nd and we hope to have all of AIP opened once the truck apron construction is complete.

We will provide additional specific details with next week’s update.

We have received numerous inquiries regarding the size and configuration of the new roundabout and would like to reiterate that the design follows FDOT criteria for modern single-lane roundabouts. The roundabout features a 120-foot diameter, 18-foot-wide travel lanes within the circulating roadway, and a 10-foot-wide truck apron.

Modern FDOT-standard roundabouts are specifically designed to accommodate the turning radius of emergency response vehicles, including fire apparatus such as pumper trucks, as well as large transit vehicles like B-12 buses. These vehicle requirements help determine the appropriate geometry and layout of the roundabout.

The new AIP/Buccaneer roundabout is the same width as the existing roundabout at 14th Street and AIP, as well as other recently constructed single-lane roundabouts in Nassau County, including those at Harts Road and William Burgess Boulevard in Yulee. Drivers of all vehicle sizes and configurations who adhere to the posted advisory speed limit of 25 mph should not experience any difficulty navigating the roundabout.

CR 121 TRAFFIC UPDATE

Work is continuing to move forward on the CR 121 improvement project, with crews completing another major milestone last week by removing temporary signals and barrier walls near Horseshoe Circle.

Beginning June 2, drivers can expect new temporary traffic signals and single-lane alternating traffic between Ground Hog Place and Horseshoe Circle South as construction activities shift into a new phase.

Meanwhile, the road closure between Stokes Road and CR 119 remains in place as crews continue roadway improvements and construction of the new concrete box culvert.

Residents will continue to have access to their properties, but traffic cannot cross the culvert work zone during this phase of construction.

NASSAU PROSPERITY ALLIANCE ANNUAL REPORT

The 2025 Nassau Prosperity Alliance Annual Report reflects a community moving forward with purpose, alignment, and a shared vision for long-term prosperity.
The Nassau Prosperity Alliance (NPA) brings together the Amelia Island Convention & Visitors Bureau, Nassau County Chamber of Commerce, West Nassau Chamber, Nassau County Economic Development Board, Small Business Development Center at UNF, and Prosper Nassau into a unified coalition focused on strengthening Nassau County’s economic future.

Guided by Nassau Vision 2050 and aligned with the county’s Interim Strategic Plan and Fiscal Stewardship and Economic Prosperity Initiative 1, the NPA is advancing a coordinated approach to economic development, business growth, job creation, and long-term competitiveness under Florida’s Six Pillars framework.

The 2025 report highlights key focus areas, including innovation and economic development, talent supply and education, infrastructure and growth leadership, and a strong, competitive business climate. Together, these priorities reflect a deliberate strategy to support business expansion and retention while building a workforce and infrastructure system ready for future growth.

More than individual initiatives, the report showcases alignment, tourism, workforce, education, and economic development partners working as one system rather than in silos.

The result is a clearer path forward: a resilient, sustainable, and opportunity-rich economy designed for both today and the next generation.

CHESTER AND PAGES DAIRY INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS NEARING COMPLETION

The Chester Road intersection safety improvement project is entering its final stages, and motorists should be aware of upcoming traffic signal work at both David Hallman Road and Pages Dairy Road over the next two weeks.

Chester Road at David Hallman Road
Sunday, May 31 | Approximately 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Signal crews will be removing the remaining old traffic signal heads and activating the new turn lane signal heads overnight on Sunday.

Drivers should use caution while traveling through the intersection. If the traffic signals are temporarily not operational, motorists should treat the intersection as a four-way stop. The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office will be on site assisting with traffic control as needed.

Chester Road at Pages Dairy Road
Tuesday, June 9–Friday, June 12

Beginning June 9, the railroad subcontractor will return to coordinate programming and testing of the railroad warning device preemption system with the new traffic signals. During this process, the traffic signals will operate in flash mode for approximately three days.

While the signals are flashing:
Traffic on Pages Dairy Road must continue coming to a complete stop before entering Chester Road
Drivers on Chester Road will have a flashing yellow signal and the right-of-way but should proceed carefully and yield to vehicles or pedestrians already in the intersection
Drivers should not treat the intersection as a four-way stop unless all signals are flashing red or completely dark.

On or around June 12, once testing and programming are complete, the intersection is expected to become fully operational. Please note that the east side extension of Pages Dairy Road remains under active construction, and motorists should stay alert for construction crews in the area.

Thank you for your continued patience as these important safety improvements near completion.

If you have any questions, please contact our Capital Projects Management Department at (904) 530-6370 or email [email protected].
