The SR 600 (US 92) Resurfacing from west of Jersey Rd to west of SR 555 (US 17) project is in the Design phase and is intended to extend the service life of the existing roadway and improve safety. This project will close the median opening 1,000 ft northeast of the intersection of US 92 and Lynchburg Rd. It will also include: milling and resurfacing of the existing pavement and outside shoulders along US 92; construction of inside paved shoulders along the median in both directions; widening at the existing right-turn lanes to provide keyhole bicycle lanes; replacement of the existing median curb; minor drainage improvements; minor signalization and other improvements at the intersection with Lynchburg Rd to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) criteria; driveway reconstruction; new pavement markings; and updated signage.

Upcoming Public Meeting

For your convenience, the FDOT is providing multiple options for participation in the upcoming public meeting. Materials and information presented will be the same at the upcoming virtual and in-person events, so attending both is not necessary. Attendees will be able to view project exhibits, ask questions and discuss the work with members of the project team.
