Contractors working for Florida Power and Light began this week replacing the aging streetlights along St. Johns Avenue, which have been in service for three decades.
The project involves swapping out the existing lights with 118 historically accurate and energy-efficient LED streetlights on 59 new poles. Alongside this, the project will modernize the underground wiring and infrastructure.
The old streetlights will be removed and replaced with new 18-foot 6-inch poles featuring two lights on top.
Although the work will involve the temporary closure of sections of St. Johns Avenue, every effort is being made to keep the disruptions to a minimum. The project should take 2 to 4 weeks.
