The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Jacksonville District is urging boaters to use caution near its project in the St. Johns River in the Chicopit Bay and Helen Cooper Floyd Park area near Mayport Naval Station.
The Corps Mile Point Training Wall Reconfiguration Project will continue through November where the St. Johns River meets the Intracoastal Waterway.
