The City of Palatka advises residents, businesses, and visitors that River Street will be closed to traffic from South 13th Street to South 14th Street beginning Monday, January 12, 2026, for approximately the next three months. The closure is necessary to allow contractors to complete work on the River Street Retaining Wall Replacement Project, which includes removal and replacement of the existing retaining wall and related infrastructure improvements. Motorists should expect detours and delays in the area and are encouraged to use alternate routes and exercise caution near the construction zone. The City appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as these important improvements are completed.
