The future Northern Gateway Sign will be located along State Road A1A in Ponte Vedra relatively close to the Duval/St. Johns County line.
The Pier Park Kiosk will be located in Pier Park adjacent to A1A in St. Augustine Beach.
The future Pope Road Scenic Outlook will be located off Pope Road east of SR A1A.
All three projects are anticipated to be complete by December 2010 or early 2011, and all are funded through Federal Highway Administration National Scenic Byway grant dollars.
The A1A Scenic & Historic Coastal Byway is a 72-mile section of State Road A1A from the St. Johns/Duval County line south to the Flagler/Volusia County line. The meetings are a partnership of St. Johns County, the Friends of A1A and the City of St. Augustine Beach.
