King Street Bridge reopens in St. Augustine

St. Augustine's King Street Bridge is now open to motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. The bridge, which crosses the San Sebastian River, was given a makeover that began last April, which included structural concrete repairs and new pavement markings. According to the Florida Department of Transportation, nighttime lane closures will remain in place on Malaga Street and U.S. 1 to remove the temporary traffic detour configuration and restore the intersection to its preconstruction traffic pattern. Motorists should still remain cautious as the upcoming traffic shift will restrict left turns from northbound Malaga Street onto southbound U.S. 1.

Flagler County’s Old Brick Road Outlasted Its Highway

A modern highway asks you to forget the surface underneath. Flagler County has a road that does the opposite: it makes the pavement the destination. The Old Brick Road, associated with the historic Dixie Highway near Espanola, is narrow, red and deeply out of scale with today’s habit of building several lanes for every movement. The Flagler County Historical Society documents it as part of Florida’s earlier effort to make travel by automobile dependable rather than an argument with sand and mud.
