Belle Terre Safety Improvement Project to Begin Monday, February 23

The City of Palm Coast’s Belle Terre Safety Improvement project is set to begin construction on Monday, February 23. The project, which spans south of Royal Palm Parkway near Fire Station 25, to just north of Pritchard Drive along Belle Terre Parkway, will provide traffic, safety and access management improvements along this stretch of the roadway.

The Belle Terre Parkway safety improvements span from Royal Palms Parkway to Whiteview Parkway. All projects include adding or extending a right turn lane. These improvements will also require modifications to the sidewalks and drainage in the area. The projects at Whiteview Parkway and Royal Palms Parkway will include the extensions of the existing left turn lanes as well as improving the signals at these intersections. Additionally, signage and neighborhood signs in the construction areas will be improved as needed.  State funding of $4.5 million has been allocated for this project. 

“Belle Terre is one of our most high-traffic areas in the city and this project aims to address the safety of those that frequent the roadway, and also the adjoining roadways along this stretch,” said project manager Vineesh Crawford. “We appreciate the patience of our residents and visitors as we implement these changes, which we see as a long-term solution to both traffic flow and safety along Belle Terre.”

The project is estimated to last approximately 13 months, and motorists and pedestrians alike can expect to experience minimal delays during this period along Belle Terre Parkway, as well as at intersections along the road, which include Pritchard Drive, Whippoorwill Drive, Pine Grove Drive, Ponce De Leon Drive, Point Pleasant Drive, Rymfire Drive, Royal Palms Drive, and Whiteview Parkway – the latter of which is currently undergoing its own Safety Improvement project that is slated to be completed in April.

Like that project, the Belle Terre Safety Improvement project is set to be completed in increments, beginning on the south end near Royal Palms Parkway and moving north. For updates on this project, visit palmcoast.gov/pcprogress
