JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Transportation Authority will temporarily suspend service of the St. Johns River Ferry for approximately eight weeks starting Jan. 6.
The JTA is starting the next phase of upgrades to the vessel and the facilities, which include pavement rehabilitation and markings, various Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements, new bulkheads and mooring bollards, catwalk access improvements, accessory and utility building improvements, construction of new public restroom facilities at the Mayport landing, along with landscaping and lighting enhancements on each side of the Ferry.
With the holidays happening all around us, there s not a lot of road projects to beware of as contractors give way to traveling families.
But as the Jacksonville Transportation Authority pumps up the Yuletide volume on the new Acosta Bridge LED lighting system to reflect the holidays, it also has some news for riders who want to avoid porch pirates.
Instead of having that holiday package vulnerably parked on the steps as you work or shop, the JTA set up a new service this week at seven of its transportation hubs for folks who want a secure spot for gift delivery and pickup.
