Mayport Road Gets Walkable Makeover

Atlantic Beach is set to transform Mayport Road with a $9.6 million upgrade starting June 15th, cutting six lanes to four to make room for a 12-foot shared path and dedicated bike lane—aiming to boost safety near Naval Station Mayport. While some drivers fear traffic headaches, local businesses welcome the change. The Florida DOT says slower speeds, improved intersections, and new lighting will reduce accidents, with construction wrapping up by fall 2027, mostly at night to avoid rush hour chaos.
