Renovations to a busy stretch of walkway along Belle Terre Parkway are set to be completed by the end of July.

The walkway extends from Pritchard Drive to Buddy Taylor Middle School and has been under renovation since March 2022, when the older walkway was deemed compromised. The walkway serves as a daily route for many BTMS and Wadsworth Elementary school students, according to a press release from the city of Palm Coast.

The walkway had been under reconstruction due to an unstable foundation when the city realized the problems were more extensive, and expanded the  scope of the project, according to the press release.

Several complications, including storm pipe damage from Hurricanes Ian and Nicole, delayed the renovations, according to the press release. 

Project Manager Carmelo Morales said he is confident the project will be completed in the coming months.

Crews are preparing to install the new walkway and have recently reinstalled lighting, according to the press release.
