New Asphalt Test Road Sections to be Installed on U.S. 301 on Oct. 6

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – New asphalt test road sections are planned for installation on southbound U.S. 301, approximately two miles south of Normandy Boulevard, on Monday, Oct. 6, 2025. The installation will be completed by Friday, Nov. 14, weather and unforeseen circumstances permitting.

During installation, a single lane closure of the outside lane of southbound U.S. 301 will occur. The lane will be closed for approximately one-half mile.

The purpose of the asphalt test road is to provide insight into FDOT’s current asphalt pavement design practices and study the performance of new pavement marking materials to improve future design of state roadways. Drivers who access the asphalt test road will be helping to improve sustainability and longevity in Florida’s road infrastructure planning processes by supplementing real-driver data.

Stay informed about lane closures and roadwork in your area by following FDOT District 2 at on X, or at MyFDOTNEFL on Facebook.
