Pictured here is an aerial view of Fort Clinch State Park in 1965! The fort was originally built Pre-Civil War, nestled at the mouth of the St. Mary’s River in Fernandina Beach to protect the region’s natural deep-water port, which at the time was the eastern link of Florida’s only cross-state railroad.

Good news for the community! Buccaneer Trail will officially reopen at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, Thursday, April 30, as scheduled!

This reopening marks an important milestone as Phase 2 construction continues to progress on schedule. We appreciate the hard work of the contractor and utility teams in reaching this point and keeping the project moving forward safely and efficiently.

Please note that Amelia Island Parkway between Buccaneer Trail and South Fletcher will remain closed until July as additional construction activities continue in that area. We will continue to provide weekly updates on the project.

Thank you to the community for your continued patience and cooperation during construction.
