UPCOMING EVENTS

---

The detour will be reinstated on Monday, March 24 after Daytona Bike Week and Spring Break. In addition, daytime flagging operations have been added at the intersection of Neptune Avenue and Halifax Drive and at the two golf course crossings located on the eastern end of Neptune Avenue to help manage traffic flow and assist with pedestrian crossings.
This is the first of three nonconcurrent detour segments. The closure dates for future segments will be announced subsequently
For more details, please see the attached flyer, which includes information on the Segment 1 detour and a map showing flagging locations.

 During this time of heavy travel and celebrations, work on the new buried seawalls in Volusia and Flagler counties will take a short break from Tuesday, Dec. 24, through Thursday, Jan. 2. and there will be no lane closures. The construction crew will monitor the site, and a water truck will be on location to help reduce blowing sand.
Once the holiday is over, work will resume as follows:
·  North wall (North of Highbridge Road in Volusia County to South Central Avenue in Flagler County)The contractor will have two drills working to complete the construction of the concrete piles that make up the wall. Crews will continue building the concrete cap over the completed piles and regrading the dune. Drivers can expect occasional single-lane closures with flagging operations. By late January, Flagler Beach will see work starting to rebuild walkovers that were temporarily removed. The first plants are also expected to be installed toward the end of January or early February. The contractor expects to complete the Flagler County portion of the wall by spring 2025. Work on the Volusia County part of the wall will continue through fall 2025.
·  South wall (South of Sunrise Avenue to Marlin Drive in Ormond-by-the-Sea, Volusia County)A third drill has been brought in to help speed construction of the project. Drilling started on the south wall earlier this month. Work is progressing from the north to the south. Before the drilling begins in an area, the contractor must remove any old rock revetment and bring in sand to build a wider work area. Then, crews build the guide wall for the drill rig to follow. Construction of the south wall is expected to finish in early 2026. As work moves south, the FDOT will continue to coordinate with property owners and local partners regarding the schedule for temporarily removing walkovers.(The contractor builds the concrete caps on the Flagler portion of the north wall.)
To keep our workers and the community safe, please stay out of the work zone and use caution when driving through the area.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is scheduled to begin work on the second of two buried seawalls protecting State Road (S.R.) A1A. Together, the two walls will span about 2.6 miles of S.R. A1A. Construction started on the first wall in Flagler Beach in March 2024.
The second wall will stretch from Sunrise Avenue to Marlin Drive in Ormond-by-the-Sea, Volusia County. Beginning as soon as September 3, the contractor will place temporary asphalt along the west side (southbound) of S.R. A1A to accommodate a slight traffic shift. As soon as September 3 and 4, drivers should expect a rolling daytime lane closure with flagging operations from just north of Marlin Drive to just south of Sunrise Avenue.
The next steps in construction will be clearing vegetation from the dune and adding sand to create a wide platform. Drilling the piles for the wall is anticipated to begin during the fall of this year.
Some dune walkovers will be temporarily removed as part of the project. Beachgoers will be able to access the beach from nearby walkovers, and the beach area in front of the walls will be open for public use. FDOT and their local partners remind everyone to stay off the dunes and be mindful of construction activities.
FDOT will replace the walkovers as work on each wall section is finished. The project team will coordinate closely with the walkover owners and limit the time each walkover is closed as much as possible.
The Department is adhering to state and federal regulations to protect sea turtles and other wildlife. During sea turtle nesting season, no work can begin until an inspector who is approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission inventories the beach for any nesting activity. No work will be done within 10 feet of a nest, and all work will be done during daylight hours.
The purpose of the walls is to provide long-term protection against future storms and erosion. The project developed from the work of the S.R. A1A Resiliency Strike Team, which is an interagency effort involving Flagler County, the City of Flagler Beach, Volusia County, FDOT, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The areas selected for buried walls are those where the shoulder and/or roadway have experienced the most erosion and damage. More information about how the walls are being constructed is shown in a video posted on the project websites at www.CFLRoads.com/project/452444-1 and www.CFLRoads.com/project/452443-1
FDOT advises motorists to follow all posted signs. Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
