It's a $44 million project that's not supposed to begin for another three years.
But a plan to make sure State Road A1A remains in tact along a stretch of the Flagler County coast just got a little bit of good news.
The US Army Corps of Engineers has been studying the erosion problem along the Flagler County coast since 2004.
Last year, it was decided a 2.7 mile section of Flagler Beach was the worst section and needed help.
So a $43.4 million plan to increase the dune line, on which A1A sits is moving through the tedious Federal budget process.
But Flagler County has learned the state Department of Transportation is already earmarking money for the project; $300,000 for the design phase and $4.5 million for the construction phase.
The county also plans to spur the project along locally.
Carl Laundrie, a spokesman for the county tells us the plan is "to go ahead and do the design of the project, so that when the Army Corps is ready to construct ... it's ready to go.”
The plan is to dredge sand from a few miles offshore and build up the dune-line which will act as a buffer for the roadway on top.
However, any time you talk about dredging, you dredge up fears and concerns.
“I just hate to see anything in nature upset. I would rather just let it run its course,” says Joy Parham, a visitor to Flagler Beach.
It's been said the best thing in the county is the 9 miles of beachfront to drive along while on A1A.
But Carl Laundrie finishes the local adage; “The really bad thing is we have 9 miles of beachfront and DOT has had to work to keep that roadway there because storms have tried to cut into the roadway.”
Nothing is happening any time soon though.
Should the leaders of the Army Corps of Engineers sign off on the project, it still must be funded by Congress.
That won't happen until 2016 at the earliest.
The first phase of the project will cost $14 million with the Federal government picking up 65% of the costs.
