Major makeover coming to one of downtown St. Augustine’s busiest corridors

A major makeover is coming to one of downtown St. Augustine’s busiest corridors. The Florida Department of Transportation is partnering with the city by providing $18 million for the road redevelopment of King Street, focusing on the main stretch from Malaga Street to Cordova Street — a half-mile corridor that connects Ponce de Leon Boulevard to the Bridge of Lions. Project leaders said the goal is to improve safety, traffic flow, and walkability while extending the feel of the historic core farther west.
