St. Johns County officials joined community members and project partners on Sept. 30 to celebrate the County Road 210 widening project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The $42.5 million project widened approximately three miles of roadway from two lanes to four between Old CR 210/Greenbriar Road and Cimarrone Boulevard and added new bridges, sidewalks and traffic signals. The Office of Public Affairs produced a video to highlight this important project.
The widened roadway connects to the existing four-lane section at Cimarrone Boulevard, providing additional travel lanes along a key transportation corridor in northwest St. Johns County. Sidewalks on both sides of the roadway improve pedestrian connectivity, while new traffic signals help motorists navigate intersections along the route.
“There are some major infrastructure improvements that are going on in St. Johns County with the attempt to improve the quality of life for all the citizens of St. Johns County, and that’s what we’re committed to,” said St. Johns County District 1 Commissioner Christian Whitehurst.
New traffic signals were installed at Stillwater Boulevard/South Hampton, Shearwater and Greenbriar Road/Old CR 210. Crews also installed curbing, stormwater pipes and two drainage ponds to manage runoff along the roadway.
“Widening the roadway was one part of a much broader effort,” said Greg Caldwell, Director of St. Johns County Public Works. “The work included bridges, sidewalks, drainage improvements and new traffic signals, all of which contribute to how this corridor functions. We appreciate the patience of residents and local businesses throughout construction and the efforts of everyone who helped deliver this project.”
Funding came from a combination of impact fees and the Transportation Trust Fund. Construction began June 30, 2023. Osiris 9 served as the civil engineer for the project, Eisman and Russo, Inc. provided construction engineering and inspection services, and Superior Construction Co. served as the construction contractor.
By expanding travel lanes, connecting sidewalks and upgrading intersections, the completed improvements advance the St. Johns County Strategic Plan’s goals of investing in reliable infrastructure and enhancing mobility and connectivity for residents and commuters.
