DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Motorists are advised that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is implementing temporary roadway closures at the State Road (S.R.) A1A (Atlantic Avenue) intersections of Harvey Avenue and Main Street starting as early as 7 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 15, through 5 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 18.

Throughout the closure period, access to Harvey Avenue and Main Street from S.R. A1A will be restricted. Motorists on S.R. A1A wishing to reach these two streets will be detoured. Northbound and southbound traffic along the main line of S.R. A1A will be maintained, with at least one lane open in both directions.

These closures are necessary for the installation of raised intersections on S.R. A1A at Harvey Avenue and Main Street, continuing ongoing construction of raised safety features along this stretch of roadway in Daytona Beach. Raised intersections function like raised crosswalks, helping slow traffic and making pedestrians more visible to drivers as they approach.

 

In addition to these closures, temporary daytime and nighttime lane closures will be necessary to complete this work.

These roadway features are being constructed as part of a larger project along S.R. A1A intended to enhance safety for pedestrians and motorists. For more information, visit www.cflroads.com/project/442884-1.
