Expect some slowdowns between South 16th and South 12th street as Flagler County Officials have advised FDOT to begin work on Monday. The goal to reinforce and stabilize the current rock revetment.
“This is an important maintenance project,” said County Engineer Faith Alkhatib, who regularly works with FDOT.
The contractor will be adding large boulders to the already existing rock revetment footprint. All the materials used for the dune stabilization will be locally sourced and native. Further, any dune plantings disturbed during the process will be reprinted according to the FDOT notice.
“This project is permitted through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The work will support dune maintenance previously done in this area and address the areas of revetment that are the least protected,” the notice states. “All work will be coordinated with the Flagler Beach Turtle Patrol, with work only occurring after the construction area has been cleared. No work will be performed from the beach.”
