About

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is performing maintenance on the North Causeway (State Road (S.R.) 44) moveable bridge over Indian River, also known as the Coronado Beach Bridge, in New Smyrna Beach, Volusia County.

This project will remove and replace the bridge’s hydraulic cylinders and accompanying machinery. The hydraulic cylinders allow the bridge to open and close for marine vessels to pass through. Replacing the existing hydraulic cylinders will ensure continued operation of the North Causeway for all users.

Lane Closures
  • The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) advises motorists and pedestrians of a nighttime closures of the North Causeway (State Road 44) moveable bridge over the Indian River, also known as the Coronado Beach Bridge. From Monday, May 13 through Thursday, May 16, the closures are scheduled nightly from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. the following morning. These closures are necessary to facilitate the replacement of hydraulic cylinders within the bridge. A detour will be in place for vehicle traffic; marine traffic access will be maintained at all times.

    DETOUR: Drivers who wish to access the North Causeway Bridge will be redirected by electronic message boards and other signage to take the adjacent South Causeway Bridge to their destination, as shown in the attached detour map.

    Local traffic will still be able to access properties along North Causeway between Riverside Drive and the North Causeway Bridge during the closure. Given the overnight timing of the closures, an alternative route for low-speed vehicles such as golf carts will not be provided.

    Please follow posted signage, avoid distractions, and allow extra travel time to reach your destination. 

    The construction schedule is subject to change pending weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
