U.S. 1 from South of Beville Road (S.R. 400) to North of Fairview Avenue
Volusia County
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is making safety and operational improvements on U.S. 1 (Ridgewood Avenue) from Beville Road (State Road (S.R.)) 400) to north of Fairview Avenue in Daytona Beach. This project is being implemented to increase pedestrian safety and driver awareness within this corridor.
In addition to resurfacing the roadway to extend its lifespan, other improvements include the installation of four new midblock pedestrian crossings equipped with Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs) at the following locations:
Raised intersections with high-visibility crosswalks and crosswalk corner islands will be installed at the intersections of Orange Avenue and Magnolia Avenue. Raised intersections help reduce vehicle speeds, while high-visibility crosswalks safety by making it easier for motorists to see pedestrians. Crosswalk corners help prevent motorists from crossing into the sidewalk when making turns.
Additionally, the median opening at Shady Place will be modified, removing the bi-directional turn lane and providing a protected left-turn lane for southbound traffic. This upgrade is expected to reduce the likelihood and severity of crashes.
The project also includes drainage improvements at select locations to help improve stormwater management and roadway performance.

During construction, motorists should expect intermittent overnight lane closures between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. for drainage installation, signalization, and raised intersection operations, and daytime lane closures between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. for paving operations and all other work.
Motorists should anticipate areas of uneven pavement within the project limits, a common condition during construction when the contractor applies multiple asphalt layers in phases. Many of these roadway conditions are short-term and will gradually improve as the project progresses.
