From University of Florida Police
FDOT is currently monitoring the water levels at the Santa Fe River and the integrity of the bridges over the river at US 441 and I-75. They anticipate the possible closing of both bridges due to the rising waters. Traffic could be diverted off the interstate north and south in the event of road closures. Please check utsports.com for the latest updates on any possible road closures that may occur.Â
The preliminary detour is expected to be the following:
Northbound traffic will be encouraged to exit at SW Williston Rd (SR 121) and be routed to US 301 North. There will be a hard closure at the City of Alachua exit (US441) where all northbound traffic will be routed south to NW 53rd Ave. NW 53rd Ave will turn into one way eastbound traffic to NE Waldo Rd and directed north to US 301. Traffic at N. Main and NE 15ht St and NW 53rd Ave will only be allowed to turn east.
Southbound traffic will be diverted off I-75 in Columbia County and directed to US 19.
