Lane Closures
  • Wednesday, September 18, through Friday, September 20, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.: There will be daytime closures of C.R. 42 from S.R. 44 (W. New York Ave.) to Crows Bluff Road. Crews will be working on constructing shoulder. Please follow roadway signage and message boards to navigate the detour.

    DETOUR: Westbound S.R. 44 traffic wishing to turn right onto C.R. 42 will instead need to make a right on Crows Bluff Road, and then travel back to C.R. 42. Eastbound S.R. 44 traffic wishing to turn left onto C.R. 42 will need to make a left onto Crows Bluff Road roughly half a mile before the closure.

    C.R. 42 traffic wishing to turn east or west onto S.R. 44 will need to make a right onto Crows Bluff Road and reconnect to S.R. 44 about half a mile south.  

    The FDOT encourages all motorists to drive safely!
