Seminole Woods Boulevard in Palm Coast is receiving the gift of new streetlights this holiday season.

The installation began on Dec. 5 and is expected to last around four to six weeks. A press release from the city urged motorists to be aware workers will be in the area, with daily construction hours going from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The contractor is L&S Enterprises.

The city will be installing 167 LED streetlights along the 4.9 miles of Seminole Woods Boulevard, between State Road 100 and U.S. Highway 1.

While lanes are not closed at this time, the release said, periodic lane closures or traffic stoppages may occur when workers unload the poles. The crews will use a mix of new poles and reusing poles that are structurally sound, the release said.

The installation happening at Seminole Woods Boulevard is part of the city's Continuous Street Lighting Mater Plan, which began in 2018. Belle Terre Parkway, Lakeview Boulevard and Ravenwood Drive have already had streetlights installed as part of this master plan, the release said.

The city plans to continue installing streetlights on Royal Palm Parkway, Rymfire Drive, Hargrove Grade, Oak Trail Boulevard and Palm Coast Parkway, according to the press release. The Palm Coast Parkway installation will go from Florida Park Drive to Palm Harbor Parkway.
