This was on the local news at noon-time. Port Orange to Edgewater is about 20-25 miles, and Port Orange to New Smyrna is 10-15 miles. Traffic will most likely be rerouted to Route 1. There are also closures of the interstate in Brevard County though these closures are intermittent.
Officials said they are worried about the root systems along Interstate 95, so a section of the highway will close indefinitely.
I-95 northbound will be closed from state Road 442 in Edgewater to state Road 421 in Port Orange, and I-95 southbound will be closed from S.R. 421 in Port Orange to state Road 44 in New Smyrna Beach until further notice, WESH 2 News reported.
The Division of Forestry said it is worried that trees could fall onto the busy highway because the root systems have been damaged from the recent brush fires.
Troopers said they are especially concerned about trees in the median. Several trees have already fallen along Pioneer Trail, the site of the raging New Smyrna Beach brush fire that consumed at least 1,300 acres and destroyed or damaged three homes.
