Congressman Bean Celebrates Groundbreaking for Cathedral Oaks Parkway

Green Cove Springs, FL—U.S. Congressman Aaron Bean (FL-04) today attended the groundbreaking ceremony announcing the start of construction on the Cathedral Oaks Parkway. The groundbreaking marked a significant milestone towards seamlessly connecting the communities of Green Cove Springs and Middleburg, as well as ensuring our society remains mobile for decades to come.

“Today is a great day for Clay County. The Cathedral Oaks Parkway is a huge step towards elevating our transportation network and, along with the infrastructure investments happening across the county, will ensure that our Florida businesses and commuters have the infrastructure they need to compete, grow, and thrive.

Our roads, bridges, and expressways are not liabilities, but assets. That’s why I was proud to work with the Army Corps of Engineers to move the required permit through the application process, so Clay County can remain in the fast lane. The addition of this parkway to Florida’s transportation network will spur economic growth, provide hundreds of good paying jobs, and support our vibrant way of life,” said Congressman Bean.

Background:

This 3.3-mile, two-lane road project will link the First Coast Expressway to the intersection of County Road 315 and Maryland Avenue. This state-of-the-art roadway will include a grass median, bike lanes, and pedestrian walkways. Completion of the Cathedral Oak Parkway is expected in early 2025.
