The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) plans to make improvements along State Road (S.R. 44) from west of I-95 to east of South Walker Drive in New Smyrna Beach. This project will resurface the corridor, limited sidewalk construction and curb ramp reconstruction as needed to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Minor drainage improvements and reconstruction of the existing traffic signal at Sugar Mill Drive are included.

A project open house to present the design and receive community feedback will be held on Thursday, September 11, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Brannon Center, 105 S. Riverside Dr., New Smyrna Beach, FL 32168. To provide additional flexibility, there will also be online ways to participate:
