New SR 44 Bridge Taking Shape
Work is progressing on a new bridge over the St. Johns River in DeLand. The Florida Department of Transportation is in the midst of a $45 million project that will see a new permanent span built over the river on SR 44, and replace the current draw bridge at the location.
The project, not slated to be completed until late in 2023, so far has featured two large dirt berms being built on either side of the river, and concrete pilings being installed in the river. More recently, large support structures have been put in place.
The project covers less than a mile in total, but will slightly realign SR 44 in the area once the new bridge is ready for service.
