Water had previously covered large swaths of the roadway as residents living near lakes Harney , Monroe and Jesup waded where they once walked.
The area of SR-46 now open to regular traffic will remain monitored so that any further adjustments can be made if needed, according to FDOT. Drivers were encouraged to travel safely, use caution and remain patient on the roadway.
