VILANO BEACH, Fla. — The video attached to this story is from a previous, related report.
The Florida Department of Transportation worked all day to construct a temporary roadway on A1A Coastal Highway.
Part of the road near St. Augustine had collapsed earlier Thursday during Tropical Depression Nicole (which was impacting the First Coast as a tropical storm at the time). Residents in the Vilano Beach area had been asked to shelter in place and could not get out over A1A.
