St. Augustine drivers: 2-day detour planned on St. Johns Parkway at Silverlake Drive

Drivers in St. Johns County should plan for a daytime detour on St. Johns Parkway as work continues on the First Coast Expressway.

The parkway will be detoured via Silverlake Drive from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday to allow crews to set beams over the roadway.

The detour starts when you reach Silverlake Drive in both directions — it’s only a short stretch of St. Johns Parkway that’s affected.

Drivers should follow posted detour signs and speed limits and use extra caution in the area.
