In Phase 1, County Road 220 will be widened to four lanes from Hollars Place to west of Henley Road, ending at Chief Ridaught Trail. This includes intersection improvements at County Road 220 and Henley Road. Work is expected to take 15 months.

Phase 2 includes widening County Road 220 to four lanes from east of Chief Ridaught Trail to Knight Boxx Road and a new four-lane bridge over Little Black Creek, along with signal updates at Knight Boxx Road and Blanding Boulevard to ease traffic congestion. Work will take about 16 months to complete.

There will be several detours in place, starting mid to late November, and continuing for the duration of the projects. All businesses and residents will have full access to their property during both projects. If you have questions about this project, please email askclay@claycountygov.com.

July 21, 2023- 

June 9, 2023- Law enforcement and emergency vehicle responses to the area will not be impacted. Multiple fire stations handle emergency responses to the affected area and public  safety has access through certain barricaded roads (Eagle Haven Drive and Sandridge Road) to provide a timely response. Most area responses will be covered by Station 15 in the Lake Asbury area.

Emergency vehicles have predetermined routes through affected neighborhoods to area emergencies, and we are installing secured gates in place of specific fortified barricades on those routes for a long-term solution. CCSO will assist in a quick transit through the barricades. Only public safety will be able to open the gates and there will be law enforcement on scene 24/7.

It is important to note the barricades that are in place are there to prevent access through an operational construction area, which, can be dangerous for traditional vehicular traffic.

CCSO and CCFR reviewed the plan and are confident residents will have fast access to public safety when they need it. CCFR and CCSO leadership meet regularly and will continue to do so to talk about these closures.  As work is completed or issues/concerns arise, the team will evaluate and adjust the road closure as necessary.

June 8, 2023- County leaders, CCFR, CCSO, and county engineers met Wednesday to discuss community input to the traffic plan. Those proposed solutions were vetted by the team for possible implementation. Overall, safety has been the driving force behind the decisions made. We’ve added additional signage and CCSO will have increased law enforcement presence to help direct traffic at the Sandridge and Russell intersection at peak commuter times. As a reminder, there is no access to Henley Road from Sandridge.

The areas that are closed were determined by county leaders, CCFR, CCSO, and county engineers based on the project scope and time, and, most importantly, safety. Emergency vehicles have predetermined routes to area emergencies. We continue to stress that drivers be patient, go the speed limit, pay attention to signage, and avoid the area if possible. Know we’re doing all we can to make this a quick and safe project. This necessary road closure is very fluid and is continually evaluated.  As work is completed or issues/concerns arise, the team will evaluate and adjust the road closure as necessary. Stay tuned to this page for updates.

June 7, 2023- We understand your frustrations over the road closures surrounding the Sandridge Road project. Our goal is to finish this project as quickly and effectively as possible.  If you don’t have to drive in the area, please find an alternate route.

Our staff, CCFR and CCSO leadership, and project managers worked on the original traffic plan, but after some major safety concerns were raised, that team worked to develop a revised plan early Monday afternoon that went into effect Tuesday. As a reminder, going around roadway barricades is illegal, and barricades bordering a construction zone are there for safety purposes. County crews also added more message boards to the area to direct drivers ahead of the construction. We know many of you have concerns. You can email Commissioner Kristen Burke at Kristen.Burke@claycountygov.com or Sheriff Michelle Cook at sheriff@claysheriff.com and they will relay your comments to the multiagency team overseeing this traffic plan.

June 5, 2023-  The County worked with the Clay County Sheriff’s Office to install more signs, messaging boards, and barricades to continue to safely direct traffic through the construction on Sandridge Road in Lake Asbury.

Sandridge Road from Henley Road to Eagle Haven Drive is closed for road reconstruction through July 30, 2023. Traffic is detoured via Henley Road and Russell Road. County staff worked with the Clay County Sheriff’s Office to add barricades, signage, and messaging boards well ahead of and surrounding the construction zone. Please pay attention to those, and drive slowly. There is no through access from Henley to Sandridge through the Glenhaven neighborhood roads.

Contractors are coordinating with Clay County District Schools and intend to complete road construction in front of the Lake Asbury elementary and junior high schools during the summer break to keep our students safe and minimize traffic impacts.
