Touchton Road Project to Begin in Mid Nov. '08

As part of the Better Jacksonville Plan, the City of Jacksonville announced it will soon begin construction of an extensive upgrade to Touchton Road between Belfort Road and Southside Boulevard. There will be roundabouts at intersection with Touchton Road in front of Wyngate Forest subdivision, Drayton Park community and Montreux Condominiums. Although there have been some delays along the way, construction is now scheduled to begin in mid-November 2008. Access to Wyngate Forest, Drayton Park and Montreux subdivisions will be maintained throughout the construction, which may last as long as 15 months. Residents will be able to exit in either direction most of the time.
