FDOT crews have been hard at work this week to help clear the roads impacted by recent flooding in Central and South Florida. Team members from all over the state came prepared with pumps and vacuum trucks to get Floridians back on the roads safely as soon as possible.
FDOT crews are continuing to monitor flooding conditions throughout Brevard County, including temporarily closing roads where necessary to keep motorists safe until the water subsides, and working to assess and reopen roads once safe.
Drivers should continue to check road conditions in advance of traveling. Visit https://t.co/TfTJP7FVXI or the Florida 511 app for real-time closures and flooding information. Do not drive past barricades or road closure signs. Seek alternate routes if you encounter a flooded roadway.
Safety reminder: Avoid driving, walking or swimming through flooded roadways, as the conditions and depths of the water and road below are unknown. Always proceed with caution.
DYK: Over the last year alone, Road Rangers provided nearly half a million assists to motorists in need across the state? Their work includes tasks like clearing debris, jump-starting vehicles, and helping stranded motorists to safety.
Their role often places them at risk while working near fast-moving traffic, but you can count on them and other crash responders to answer the call.
