Bike Week service interruptions announced
Bike Week brings heavy traffic to Volusia County. As a result, Votran riders
should expect numerous delays, interruptions and route deviations. Schedule
delays will begin Monday, Mar. 1, and continue through Sunday, March 7.
Detours are subject to change without notice. “Votran will make every effort
to notify customers as soon as the detours and route deviations are
expected,” said Ken Fischer, Votran general manager. “Buses will be rerouted
to secondary roads when traffic becomes congested.”
The latter part of Bike Week tends to affect Votran routes/schedules more
than the earlier days, added Fischer. Bike Week Votran route deviations
include the following:
-
The buses will be unable to use Main
Street.
-
Route 17A/B regular service will use
the International Speedway Boulevard Bridge until traffic becomes too
congested, then it will detour to the Orange Avenue bridge.
-
There will be service interruptions on
International Speedway Boulevard. There will be no service to the
Daytona Beach Flea Market.
-
In New Smyrna Beach, Thursday through
Saturday, March 4 - 7, when traffic becomes too congested along S.R. 44
routes 43 and 44 will end at K-Mart.
