Project Objective

JEA contractor crews (JB Coxwell Contracting) are continuing work in your area to extend two 20-inch chilled water mains along A. Philip Randolph Boulevard that will serve the future Four Seasons Hotel and future Jacksonville Shipyards development. 

Chilled water systems efficiently supply chilled water to commercial buildings from a central plant using underground supply and return distribution pipes. The chilled water is then utilized by each building to provide air conditioning through their on-site air-handling units. 

Construction Conditions

Construction will primarily occur in City of Jacksonville rights-of-way, roads, and easements. 

Temporary Intersection Closure - A. Philip Randolph and E. Forsyth

For the safety of crews and the public, the contractor will be required to temporarily close and detour traffic at the intersection of A. Philip Randolph Boulevard and E. Forsyth Street while the new water line is installed.  Please see the work area and detour map below.

  • Anticipated Start Date: July 7, 2025*
  • Estimated Completion Date: July 25, 2025*

 *Start and completion dates are highly subject to change.

The project work area will remain closed (24/7) until completion. Access to area businesses, including Manifest Distilling and Intuition Ale Works will be maintained. Please observe all construction signs, detours and general directions provided by the crews working on-site. We apologize for any inconvenience this work may cause.
