About
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, is kicking off Project Development and Environment (PD&E) studies for improvements to the I-4 (SR 400) interchange at US 27 (SR 25) in Davenport, Polk County. The objective of the PD&E studies is to provide documented information necessary for FDOT to reach a decision on the type, design, and location of improvements.
FPID# 201210-5: US 27 (SR 25) Interchange at I-4 (SR 400) from South of Ernie Caldwell Boulevard to Ritchie Road and I-4 (SR 400) Auxiliary Lanes from US 27 (SR 25) to CR 532.
Segment 1 is from south of Ernie Caldwell Boulevard to Ritchie Road (MP 23.10 to MP 24.49), a project length of approximately 1.4 miles. In the existing condition, US 27 (SR 25) is an urban arterial with three 12-foot travel lanes in each direction. This project will address operational deficiencies of the existing US 27 (SR 25) interchange by modifying and improving the I-4 (SR 400) ramp terminal intersections at US 27 (SR 25), providing a grade-separated intersection at US 27 (SR 25) and Home Run Boulevard/Posner Boulevard, increasing the number of travel lanes along US 27 (SR 25) within the project limits, and creating a frontage road along southbound US 27 (SR 25) from Home Run Boulevard to south of I-4 (SR 400).
A proposed shared-use path will be added to the median of US 27.
Segment 2 is I-4 (SR 400) Auxiliary Lanes from US 27 (SR 25) to CR 532 (MP 29.25 to MP 32.0), a project length of approximately 2.8 miles. I-4 (SR 400) currently has three 12-foot travel lanes in each direction with these limits. The proposed improvements will add a 12-foot auxiliary lane in each direction on the outside of the existing travel lanes.
Ultimately, there are three major intersections in these projects that will be reconstructed.
• US 27 (SR 25) at I-4 (SR 400), North Ramp (at Frontage Road), including RCUT
• US 27 (SR 25) at I-4 (SR 400), South Ramp, including RCUT
• US 27 (SR 25) at Posner Boulevard /Homerun Boulevard
