This project involved 2.29 miles of milling and resurfacing along State Road 13 (San Jose Boulevard) in Duval County, Florida, extending from south of Interstate 295 to north of Sunbeam Road. SR 13 is a critical arterial connecting suburban communities to downtown Jacksonville, carrying in excess of 66,000 vehicles per day.
CSI covered the full spectrum of roadway engineering services — from initial planning documentation through construction support — ensuring the corridor was improved safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to the surrounding community.
Scope of Engineering Services
CSI delivered comprehensive design and technical services across more than a dozen engineering disciplines, providing a fully coordinated set of construction documents. Services included: roadway design, 3R report, pavement design, drainage design, traffic control plans, signing and pavement marking, structural design, signalization, lighting design, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), geotechnical engineering, surveying, Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), utility coordination, construction cost estimating, and specifications.
Project Complexity & Key Challenges
The SR 13 corridor presented a unique combination of operational, logistical, and community-relations challenges that required careful planning and adaptive management throughout the project lifecycle.
With more than 66,000 vehicles per day, San Jose Boulevard serves as a primary commuter route between Jacksonville's southside communities and the downtown core. Developing Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plans for this high-volume principal arterial required precise staging, temporary signage, and strict adherence to allowable construction windows to keep traffic moving safely.
Numerous commercial properties line both sides of the corridor. Maintaining safe and functional driveway access throughout each construction phase required continuous coordination with individual business owners. The majority of construction activities were consequently restricted to nighttime hours, balancing daytime traffic demand with the need for timely project delivery.
Community Engagement & Impact Minimization
Proactive public communication was a cornerstone of the project's success. Public information meetings were held prior to construction to inform neighborhood residents and business owners of the planned work schedule, project limits, and expected impacts — giving stakeholders adequate time to prepare.
These meetings were supplemented by consistent advance notification of upcoming lane closures throughout the construction period, keeping residents and businesses informed of schedule changes and minimizing disruption. Direct coordination with businesses along the corridor ensured construction activities were sequenced to reduce conflicts at driveways on both sides of San Jose Boulevard.
Project Outcomes
The SR 13 San Jose Boulevard milling and resurfacing project delivered a fully modernized, safer, and more resilient roadway surface for one of Jacksonville's most heavily traveled corridors. By integrating robust traffic engineering, multimodal coordination, and transparent public outreach, CSI successfully completed a complex, high-profile infrastructure improvement with minimal disruption to the traveling public, local businesses, and surrounding neighborhoods.
CSI demonstrates proven experience in FDOT roadway resurfacing, high-volume corridor management, and community-focused project delivery in Northeast Florida.
