Beach closures in New Smyrna Beach
Short sections of New Smyrna Beach may be closed for a beach renourishment project being done by the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND). Each work zone will be closed for approximately one week. The sand replacement project will continue in stages south along the beach as weather and work conditions permit.
The work zone for the beach renourishment project in New Smyrna Beach now extends from Esther Street to just north of Flagler Avenue. Beginning today, beachgoers will not be able to access the beach via Flagler Avenue. All other areas remain open to the public. Beachgoers can travel to the Ponce Inlet area via the Beachway Ramp. The Third and 27th avenues ramps are open.
The beach will remain open to all beach users except for a 200-500 foot construction area which will advance south along the beach by approximately 100 yards a day as work progresses. Citizens are encouraged to stay away from the work zone and resulting pipeline.
