Flagler County officials advise residents that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) road resurfacing project for State Road 100 – East Moody Boulevard – will begin April 1. The project area runs from North Palmetto Street in Bunnell to Old Kings Road in Palm Coast.
“It is important for us to get the word out as construction will be taking place in front of the Government Services Complex – the Court House and the Government Services Building that also houses the Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections, and Flagler Schools business offices,” said County Administrator Heidi Petito. “I understand the roadway will remain open during construction, but there will be delays.”
The goal of the FDOT project is to extend the life of the roadway and will also include right turn lanes from eastbound State Road 100 onto Seminole Woods Boulevard and westbound onto Town Center Boulevard, as well as an eastbound right turn lane onto Commerce Parkway. FDOT also reports the following additional improvements: shoulder widening; upgrading the traffic signals at Belle Terre Parkway and Memorial Medical Parkway with new mast arm signal poles; and, the installation of Wrong Way Driving devices at the Interstate 95 interchange off-ramps.
Pedestrian enhancements include:
- Sidewalk construction
- Crosswalk additions at the S.R. 100 intersections of Landing Boulevard, Bulldog Drive, Town Center Boulevard, Memorial Medical Parkway, and Old Kings Road
- Curb ramp upgrades to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards
State Road 100 will remain open to traffic during construction, according to FDOT, though motorists can expect nighttime single-lane closures between 9 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. Signage and traffic control devices will direct drivers through the remaining open lanes during these closures. Work at the Interstate 95 ramps will require occasional nighttime ramp closures accompanied by a detour between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The contractor will maintain access to businesses and residences during construction.
Pedestrian detours will be utilized as necessary. Motorists and pedestrians are asked to exercise caution while traveling through the work zone.
Uneven pavement is a common, unavoidable roadway condition with resurfacing projects as the contractor must place different layers of asphalt during various phases of construction. Road conditions during construction are short-term and will become less apparent as the project nears completion.
The construction schedule may change due to weather or other unexpected conditions. For project updates,

Hope they are adding in new turning lanes and going to make it 6 lanes from Seminole woods to old kings .
TR says
Unfortunately there isn’t enough room to add two more lanes because of the easements and the businesses that are already along that stretch of roadway. So I’m guessing they will just repave what is already roadway.
Bill says
Need about 14 lanes to accommodate all the new population
Dennis C Rathsam says
IM confedent this will be done at night, so the inmants of this asylem wont disrupt folks going to work

Would like to add. I’m a bit confused by the picture. I can see the Bunnell water tower in the top of the picture which I know where it is. However the rest of the picture is confusing. The roadway of state road 100 is straight for (I’m guessing) about 5 miles from Colbert Ln to just before the Bunnell water tower, with the closes traffic signal before the water tower being at the intersection by Belle Terre Blvd. there is a traffic signal in the picture that doesn’t look like it’s anywhere near Belle Terre Blvd. In fact it also has a “Welcome to Bunnell” rock sign near the traffic signal in the picture on the right which is also no where near Belle Terre Blvd. So is this picture that has been altered or just a really old picture? Just curious.

This is really dumb & a waste of money. Half of 100 is going to get tore up again once that nasty bj’s shopping plaza gets built.
Jeff says
No business I have to go to on that stretch so I’ll probably avoid it as long as it takes.

Òr you could just wait until schools out for the summer when the traffic dies down drastically! Regardless of what needs to be done with current business’ geographical layouts and what have you. Making it 3 lanes each way should be IMPERATIVE!

Well its another waste of money and a perfect example of the blind ‘City and County and the FDOT” forgetting about growth when they originally designed this road. If it was originally designed back in 1996 for 3 lanes and turn lanes back then and during its reassessment in 1998 it would have been a lot cheaper and we might not be in this dig it up and redo phase.
