Volusia County will temporarily close the L.B. Knox Bridge and Highbridge Road in Ormond Beach from March 17 through May 1 for scheduled bridge deck repairs and road resurfacing to improve the functionality of these infrastructure components.
These improvements will ensure the continued efficiency and reliability of this transportation route, supporting smooth travel for residents and visitors. During this period, the stretch of Highbridge Road from Walter Boardman Lane to the bridge will not be accessible to vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Situated in northeast Volusia County, the L.B. Knox Bridge spans the Halifax River and forms part of the northern section of the Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail. To navigate around the closure, travelers can use the Granada Bridge on State Road 40 in Ormond Beach or State Road 100 in Flagler Beach. Residents along Highbridge Road may access their homes via Walter Boardman Lane. Officials will post detour signs and closure notices along the affected routes to inform the public.
The construction may cause minimal disruptions to boat traffic on the Halifax River. Efforts will be made to minimize any inconvenience, ensuring the waterway will remain open to navigation throughout the construction period.
