Southbound State Road A1A Detour to Begin in Flagler Beach

Flagler County A significant detour on State Road (S.R.) A1A in Flagler Beach is set to start Tuesday, Feb 26, as construction continues on a project to protect the road from erosion and future storm events. The work is part of a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) project to construct improvements along three sections of S.R. A1A in Flagler County. A temporary traffic repair has been in place since the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew in late 2016.

Fast Facts:

• Southbound traffic on S.R. A1A will be detoured onto a local road, South Central Avenue, between South 7th Street and South 23rd Street.
• Northbound traffic will remain on S.R. A1A.
• The detour will be in place throughout the reconstruction.
• Access to all businesses and homes will be maintained.
• Access will also be available using side streets.
• For those with driveways only on S.R. A1A, access will be available from northbound S.R. A1A.

Since this is a popular destination for tourists and visitors, drivers are asked to obey the posted speed limits on both S.R. A1A and Central Avenue, and to be alert for pedestrians and bicyclists in the area. Due to safety concerns, bicyclists and foot traffic are urged to stay in designated, safe areas throughout the project.

Please note schedules may change due to weather or other circumstances. Electronic message boards and other signage will help to direct motorists. Updates are available on the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Central Florida website, www.cflroads.com.

Media inquiries should be directed to the FDOT Communications Office at d5-pio@dot.state.fl.us, or by phone at 386-943-5479.

The FDOT urges all drivers to stay alert and use caution while driving through or near construction zones.
