Passing Through

New underpass and murals brighten path for 30A pedestrians

An Inlet Beach pedestrian underpass project celebrated its grand opening in October 2024. The new 12-foot-wide, 136-foot-long walking and biking path passes under Highway 98 at the East Corridor entrance to 30A. The underpass, a $5.6 million project, was completed following the addition of hand-painted murals by 10 local artists. The Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA) collaborated on the project to bring the pathway to life with vibrant paintings by artists selected from the organization’s pre-vetted Public Artist Directory. Each artist created a 20-by-8- foot mural. The installation includes original artwork by Francisco Adaro, Katherine Boggs, Heather Clements, Bradley Copeland, Olga Guy, Wes Hinds, Sarah Page, Andy Saczynski, Andrea Scurto, and Lindsay Tobias.
