About

FDOT studied more than eight roadway improvements in the area. Public input was welcomed throughout the process through small group meetings, public meetings, and a robust public involvement effort.

The project is expected to begin construction in mid-2023. The improvements will consist of:

  • Milling and resurfacing
  • Overbuild
  • Widening
  • Guardrail
  • Drainage improvements
  • Signalization
  • Signing and pavement markings
