State Road (S.R.) 434 on the north side of Oviedo is reopened to traffic ahead of schedule. Crews finished making repairs Friday afternoon around 4:33 p.m. The original goal was to reopen the road by Saturday morning.
The roadway had been closed since Saturday afternoon, June 2, at Laurel Oaks Court, due to an issue with an old drainage structure that runs under the road. A portion of the drainage structure collapsed, which opened up a three-foot wide hole. For safety reasons, the entire roadway was closed at that location and detours were set up.
On Tuesday, June 5, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) issued an emergency contract to Southland Construction, which included a 72-hour window to fix what’s under the road, and reopen the road to traffic. The contract amount was $237,000. Construction work began Wednesday morning. Other construction work, not related to the travel sections of the road, will still occur.
FDOT extends thanks to those commuters and residents who drove safely and followed the detours while the emergency repairs took place.
Drivers on State Road (S.R.) 44/New York Avenue in DeLand can expect detours this weekend at the S.R. 44 intersection with Stone Street west of Woodland Boulevard to accommodate concrete slab replacement. The intersection closure is scheduled to be in place from Friday, April 6, to Monday, April 9.
During the detour, drivers on westbound S.R. 44 will be directed around the work area using Orange Avenue, Rich Avenue and High Street. Eastbound S.R. 44 traffic will be directed to use High Street, Howry Avenue and Orange Avenue as a detour. Access to businesses and residences will be maintained.
The detours are part of a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) project to repair and replace areas of concrete along S.R. 44 between Boundary Avenue and Hill Avenue.
Please note construction schedules may change due to weather or other circumstances. Electronic message boards will be used to alert motorists to lane closures and detours, and updates will be available on the FDOT’s Central Florida website CFLRoads.com.
Media inquiries should be directed to the FDOT Communications Office at 386-943-5479 or [email protected].
FDOT advises drivers to slow down and use extra caution in construction zones.
