Construction underway on Jacksonville National Cemetery access road

The FDOT has announced that the clearing stages have started in northwest Jacksonville, to prepare for the upcoming construction.

The construction on the Jacksonville National Cemetery access road will be adding a new 3.4 mile two-lane road connecting Lannie Road and Arnold Road, at the Ethel Road intersection.

Also included in this project are bike lanes on the new road, ponds for drainage, and a new bridge over Seaton Creek to improve transportation options for visitors.

This $12.8 million project is expected to be finished in the Fall of 2021 by Anderson Columbia Contractors, Inc. and ownership of the road will then be transferred to the City of Jacksonville.
