Flagler Beach A1A improvement work to begin next week; officials warn of detours and a 300‑day schedule
Summary
Flagler Beach officials said work on a 300‑day A1A repair and improvement project will begin next week, with phased work, local detours in the southern section and weekly progress updates to help businesses and residents plan.
Flagler Beach officials told the Flagler County commission on Jan. 14 that a major A1A roadwork project will begin next week and could last roughly 300 days.
Kim Carney, identified in the meeting as from Flagler Beach, said the project carries incentives for on‑time completion and will be done in sections so the full mile will not be closed at one time. She advised that the northern section would generally remain on A1A but that the southern section near the Hotel Topaz will require detours: northbound traffic will remain on A1A, while southbound traffic will be detoured off A1A at Seventh Street onto Central Avenue through a residential 30‑mph zone.
Carney said the city is coordinating with businesses to provide alternative entrances and signage and will work to reroute large trucks off A1A where possible. She also said weekly progress updates will be posted — through local channels such as the city website and social media — to keep residents and visitors informed.
Ending: Officials asked for county coordination on messaging; the project manager and city staff will post weekly updates to minimize disruptions to tourism and local businesses during the construction period.
