The Florida Department of Transportation's buried seawall in Flagler Beach has finished construction, while the Ormond Beach seawall project is "progressing steadily," an FDOT press release said.
The FDOT is been working on constructing two buried seawalls in Flagler Beach and Ormond-by-the-Sea since early 2024. The north wall is located north of Highbridge Road in Volusia County to South Central Avenue in Flagler Beach.
The work on the Flagler Beach wall, including restoring dune walkovers, is finished but for some landscaping, the press release said. The only remaining work in an area with an active sea turtle nest and once that nest is empty FDOT crews will finish dune shaping and planting.
The southern seawall project is in Ormond-by-the-Sea, from Sunrise Avenue to Marlin Drive. Work on this wall is completed, including the piles and concrete cap and most of the dune reshaping completed, the press release said, excepting another few areas with turtle nests.
Landscaping is around 70% complete and 20% of the dune walkovers have been restored. The FDOT teams estimate the work will largely finish by late fall in 2025 and finish entirely in early 2026, the press release said.
