Summary:

Riberia Street will close to through traffic between King and Bridge streets starting April 18.

Special to The Record

Riberia Street will close to through traffic between King and Bridge streets starting April 18.

City of St. Augustine contractor Masci Corp. of Port Orange will work on the Florida Department of Transportation's drainage improvement project.

Local traffic can use the route, but other traffic will be detoured to Martin Luther King Avenue.

City staff recommends alternate routes be sought through the end of this year.

The scheduled completion date is Jan. 27

In the meantime, the project at King Street between the San Sebastian Bridge and Malaga Street is nearing completion.

FDOT expects east-bound detours on King Street between U.S. 1 and just east of Malaga Street as construction on King Street to continue through the end of April.

Riberia Street and San Sebastian Harbor will remain open for local traffic until King Street is fully opened.

For information, call the City of St. Augustine Public Works Department at 825-1040.
