The Volusia County Road and Bridge Division has now closed a total of three roads in Northeast Volusia.

Road and Bridge have decided to close these roads due to extreme tidal conditions that have resulted in elevated water levels in the Tomoka and the Halifax River. High water levels have caused flooding in certain areas.

The first of the three roads were closed early Monday, on North Beach Street from Inglesa Avenue to Pine Tree Drive in Ormond Beach.

The other two roads that have been closed due to flooding are:

1. Highbridge Road from John Anderson Drive to Walter Boardman Lane
2. Walter Boardman Lane from Highbridge Road to Old Dixie Highway

Road and Bridge staff will continue to monitor the situation and will re-open the roads once the water recedes enough for motorists to safely use the roads.
