State Road 44 Detour at Clara Avenue in DeLand

 

DeLand Drivers on State Road (S.R.) 44/New York Avenue in DeLand can expect detours this weekend at the intersection with Clara Avenue west of Woodland Boulevard. The detour will begin around 9 a.m. Friday, April 20, and last through approximately 6 a.m. Monday, April 23. The closure is needed to accommodate concrete slab replacement within the intersection.

 

During the detour, the routes will be as follows (see attached map):

• S.R. 44 traffic heading west will turn right on Florida Avenue, left on Rich Avenue and left on Stone Street.
• S.R. 44 traffic heading east will turn right on Stone Street, left on Howry Avenue and left on Florida Avenue.

The detours are part of a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) project to repair and replace areas of concrete along S.R. 44 between Boundary Avenue and Hill Avenue.
