The Graham Swamp Boardwalk has temporarily closed for essential repairs.
The boardwalk closed on Sept. 23 and will reopen Oct. 4. The closure will affect the section connecting Colbert Lane to the Oak Trails neighborhood, a city press release said.
The repairs will focus on a 20-foot section of the boardwalk that has deteriorated and requires immediate attention to ensure the safety and longevity of the trail, the press release said. Crews will replace the damaged portion with stronger, more durable materials built to withstand weather conditions over time.
While the closure is scheduled for two weeks, officials are optimistic that the work may be completed sooner, weather permitting, the press release said.
Residents are encouraged to use alternative walking and biking routes while the boardwalk is closed, and those routes can be found online at www.palmcoast.gov/parks-and-recreation/facilities.
“We understand how popular Graham Swamp is among our residents and how important it is to keep this space accessible,” said Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation Brittany McDermott. “That’s why our dedicated parks and trails team will complete these essential repairs as efficiently and quickly as possible, prioritizing the safety of our community."
