This is to inform you that the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) is closing Indian River Boulevard (State Road 442) between India Palm Drive and Fern Palm Drive in Edgewater, Volusia County, from 7 a.m. Friday, October 30, 2026, through 6 p.m. Monday, November 2, 2026.
FEC requires this road closure to complete a railroad crossing rehabilitation project. This project will ensure that the crossing is safer by installing new surface materials and providing a smoother transition over the railroad tracks. This will benefit the motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians that utilize the crossing daily. Local traffic will have access to local businesses and homes within the closure limits along Indian River Boulevard.
The following detour will be in place:
- Motorists wishing to head westbound on Indian River Boulevard should travel northbound on U.S. 1, turn left onto westbound Park Avenue, and left onto southbound Air Park Road before returning to Indian River Boulevard.
- Motorists wishing to head eastbound on Indian River Boulevard should travel northbound on Air Park Road, turn right onto eastbound Park Avenue, and turn right onto southbound U.S. 1 before returning to Indian River Boulevard.
Advanced notification along the roadway will be in place at least 10 days prior to the road closure. Please note that the work schedule may change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.
