About

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is planning to construct a shared-use path along U.S.17 from State Road (S.R.) 40 to Washington Avenue in Pierson and from Palmetto Avenue to the Putnam County line. A 1-mile-long section between Washington Avenue and Palmetto Avenue in Pierson was previously constructed.

With his project, the finished trail will stretch 13.7 miles and will close a gap in the 260-mile-long St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop Trail, one of state's highest trail priorities. 

A Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study was completed in 2020, and the preferred alternative proposes a 12-foot-wide pave shared-use path along the east (northbound) side of U.S. 17 within the project limits. Project files are provided below.

Some right of way acquisition will likely be needed. However, the project team is working to stay within existing right of way as much as possible.
