Sen. Bill Nelson urges Congress to help with SR A1A

Parts of roadway wiped out by Hurricane Matthew

WASHINGTON – Sen. Bill Nelson is calling on his colleagues in Congress to take action to try to stop any more damage along State Road A1A in Flagler County.

Hurricane Matthew wiped out more than a one-mile stretch of the road for weeks, but money in a new water bill up for debate would refortify more than two miles of dunes along the coast.

Nelson says that work could reduce the risk of future storm damage by more than 90-percent.

Nelson sent a letter to congressional leaders, urging quick action before the House and Senate break for the holidays next month.
