A Vision for Growth and Safety
The Bonded Transportation Program was launched to address Clay County’s rapid growth and the accompanying demands on its infrastructure. The program encompasses enhancements to six existing roadways and the construction of a new major thoroughfare, Cathedral Oak Parkway, connecting the county to the First Coast Expressway.
These projects are strategically designed to:
Improve traffic flow and reduce congestion
Enhance public safety for all users, including drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists
Expand roadway capacity with additional travel lanes
Upgrade drainage systems to handle increased demands
Incorporate sidewalks and bike lanes to foster a more community-friendly transportation network
Strategic Planning and Execution
The Bonded Transportation Program is a testament to forward-thinking planning and execution.
Preparations for these major projects began in 2020, with county planners and engineers carefully analyzing roadway capacities and future growth patterns. By issuing tax-exempt infrastructure sales tax revenue bonds, Clay County secured the funding needed to complete the work in the most cost-effective and timely manner.
Construction began in 2022 and has been ongoing across the county, with crews working diligently to deliver these essential improvements. Without this innovative funding approach, the projects would have taken decades to complete, with significantly higher costs for design and materials.
Building a Better Future
This award-winning program not only addresses current traffic challenges but also lays the groundwork for Clay County’s future. By staying ahead of growth and redesigning infrastructure to handle increased traffic, the Bonded Transportation Program ensures the community remains connected, safe, and prepared for the demands of tomorrow.
WGI congratulates Clay County’s commissioners, staff, and leaders for their vision and dedication in making this program a reality. We are proud to have partnered with you in delivering innovative infrastructure solutions that truly make a difference.
