Northbound US 1/N. Harbor City Boulevard at Hiawatha Street in Melbourne will be closed to thru traffic from 7 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 1, to 7 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 2. The closure will allow the contractor, Preferred Materials, Inc., to replace a cross drain under the three northbound lanes on N. Harbor City Boulevard.
During this time, northbound traffic will be detoured west on Lake Washington Boulevard, north on Stewart Avenue and east on Parkway Drive to US 1. The detour is 3.5 miles.
The repair is part of the Florida Department of Transportation’s resurfacing, signalization and pedestrian improvement project on US 1 from Law Street to Post Road.
