𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗦 𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗛 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗬: 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗦
The Space Coast is anticipating between 100,000-200,000 people to descend on Brevard County for the #Artemis launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center on August 29, 2022, with a 2-hour launch window opening at 08:33 am. While we know Space Coast residents and visitors are excited about this historic launch, road users will be impacted by traffic congestion.
The heaviest traffic is expected between 5:00 am and 10:00 am on the day of the launch. In addition to the launch, there will also be FIVE cruise ships at Port Canaveral that morning, adding to the influx of people on our roadways. Please plan accordingly, here are some traffic tips leading up to this epic event, and check out the FDOT Central Florida outbound post-launch traffic map:
𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀:
SR A1A (Cocoa Beach) - NO LEFT TURN from northbound A1A to State Road 520 westbound. Motorists on A1A will proceed northbound to SR 528 or U-turn at George King. Southbound should proceed to SR 404 Pineda Causeway to US 1 or I-95.
Titusville Police advise motorists to slow down in launch viewing areas, especially on U.S.#1, State Road 406 along the A. Max Brewer Bridge, and all surrounding areas. All lanes on the A. Max Brewer Bridge will be closed immediately after launch for approximately 1 hour, allowing for pedestrian traffic to cross over safely.
𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀:
If you live or work in the north, central, and beachside areas, plan accordingly and stay off the roadways if possible to avoid traffic congestion.
If you must travel along these corridors, please plan for extra commute time to work and school.
Consider running errands over the weekend before the launch to avoid traffic.
ALWAYS watch for and yield to pedestrians/bicyclists crossing. There'll be heavy foot traffic, especially along US 1/A1A.
Obey ALL traffic laws. Do not run red lights, speed, or drive distracted.
Once the launch is completed traffic will be funneled from East on SR 528 to A1A South and then to SR 520.
