Detour on State Road 508/E. NASA Boulevard at Railroad Crossing

Melbourne, Fla. Motorists should be aware of an upcoming detour when traveling on E. NASA Boulevard at the railroad crossing west of U.S. 1 beginning at 6 a.m., Saturday, June 13, until about 6 a.m., Wednesday, June 17, for railroad crossing work.

 

Traffic will be detoured to Babcock Street, E. Hibiscus Boulevard and U.S. 1. Detour signage is planned to direct motorists to the alternate routes.

 

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is providing project support to Florida East Coast Railway, LLC., so they can safely conduct the work. These closures are necessary to upgrade the railroad crossings, which increases safety for both motor vehicles and train traffic. Construction times and schedules are subject to change due to inclement weather or other circumstances.

 

For more information about the project, contact Mr. Leslie Schonder with the Florida East Coast Railway, LLC at 904-279-3196.

 

For questions, please contact the FDOT District Five Communications Office at FDOT-D5COMM@dot.state.fl.us.

 

FDOT urges motorists to use caution near all railroad crossings and when driving in areas with road construction. Please slow down, follow posted detour signs and stay alert.
