Residents on the beachside and low-lying area need not wait for the evacuation order at 10 am if they wish to leave now and avoid traffic gridlock

Volusia County has implemented a beachside curfew that will be in effect from Tuesday, September 3rd at 6:00 p.m. through Wednesday, September 4th at 6:00 a.m. that is east of the Intracostal Waterway (river to the beach).

The bridge will be manned by officers from Daytona Beach Shores, Port Orange and Ponce Inlet. Only residents, business owners and persons that have legitimate business on beachside from north Daytona Beach Shores city limits to Ponce Inlet will be allowed over. Vehicles displaying a Daytona Beach Shores or Ponce Inlet pass will be expedited over the bridge.

The bridge will close when wind speeds reach a sustained 39 mph. There is no set time so please prepare to leave sooner rather than later.
