They say they're detouring traffic around Westpark Shopping Center via Morningside Drive to allow CM Mitchell Construction Co. to install a 12” X 16” tapping tee and valve on an existing water main and to install paving within a new turn lane in front of the First Citizens Bank.

Motorists are urged to drive with caution and be alert while traveling through the work zones, especially at night. They recommend avoiding the area, if possible, during the construction.

The project will provide an interconnection between the City of Jacksonville and ONWASA and allow either utility to assist the other in the event of an emergency situation requiring water.
