Treasury Street closes Monday for construction

The City of St Augustine updated Historic City News today on the status of two major projects underway downtown. According to Project Engineer, Reuben C. Franklin Jr., all of the curb and sidewalk work is complete on the Transit in Parks project on Orange Street.

Reporting that the project is on schedule, Franklin said the first section of the Cubo Line has been excavated and footer constructed.

“I’m anticipating having the east bound lane of Orange Street open to traffic the first or second week of November,” Franklin reported. “The concrete road base pour began today, and the brick paver installation is expected to begin next week.”

Work on the Downtown Improvement District project enters its next phase. Starting Monday, October 20, Treasury Street from St. George Street east to Charlotte Street will be closed. The closure will continue through this phase of the project which is scheduled to last approximately four months.

Access to the parking lot on the corner of Treasury St. and Spanish St. will be maintained.

Additionally, the parking lot at Toques Place, between Hypolita St. and Cuna St., will again be accessible for parking.

The construction laydown area has been relocated to the Tolomato parking lot between Cordova St. and Spanish St.
