U.S. 1: The eastern section of New Haven Avenue is temporarily a one-way street, it was announced by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The change and other traffic adjustments announced by the state agency are required as part of a major roadway project that includes reconstruction of New Haven Avenue between U.S. 1 and the Melbourne Causeway. As of Oct. 8, 2012, only eastbound traffic is allowed on the section of New Haven Avenue between U.S. 1 and the Melbourne Causeway. FDOT said the change will continue into August of 2013.

FDOT is undertaking $6.2-million in improvements to Highway U.S. 1 for most of its length through Melbourne. In addition to the reconstruction of New Haven Avenue, the project also includes resurfacing of U.S. 1 from Law Street southward toward the Crane Creek Bridge and terminating at Roosevelt Avenue, a distance of approximately five miles.

Other improvements include ADA-compliant curb ramps along the entire corridor, a southbound U.S. 1 turn lane at Babcock Street, a traffic signal mast arm conversion at Line Street, installation of drainage structures, and other associated signage and striping upgrades. The work is expected to be completed by the fall of 2013. Project information is available online from FDOT at www.cflroads.com.
