and anticipates completing the Project in Fall 2026.
The scope of the Project consists of 1) construction of dual right turn lanes at southbound Indian
Creek Drive to westbound SR 112/W 41 Street; 2) removal of 15 parking spaces and maintaining
the four (4) taxi parking spaces to accommodate shifting the median to the east along SR
A1A/Indian Creek Drive between W 41 Street and W 44 Street to allow for the addition of a second
right turn lane from southbound Indian Creek Drive to westbound SR 112/W 41 Street; 3)
installation of new signalization at SR A1A/Indian Creek Drive for the new dual right turn lanes to
westbound SR 112/W 41 Street; 4) installation of a new northbound bicycle lane along the east
side of SR A1A/Collins Avenue between 4441 Entrance and 4700 Block; 5) reconstruction of
sidewalk, ramps and curb and gutter; 6) repairing the SR 112/W 41 Street bridge deck and
structural steel and rehabilitation of the bridge elements and deck expansion joints; 7) installation
of a new pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection of SR A1A/Collins Avenue and 4441 Entrance;
8) implementation of drainage improvements; 9) repaving and restriping the roadways with
upgraded signing and pavement markings including crosswalks, pedestrian signage, and
pedestrian push-buttons; 10) replacing existing street lighting with Light Emitting Diode (“LED”)
fixtures; and 12) relocating and trimming existing landscape. The estimated construction cost of
the Project is $9.1 million, and all Project costs will be the responsibility of FDOT.
Temporary lane closures are anticipated during construction. However, lane closures will only
occur during non-peak hours and non-event days, nights and weekends. All lane closures will be
coordinated with the City, and FDOT will notify the City in advance of any anticipated lane closures.
FDOT and the City will disseminate the information regarding lane closures to the community in a
timely manner.
FDOT has designated a Community Outreach Specialist - Melissa J. Rodriguez- to be the point of
contact for the community throughout the duration of the Project. Ms. Rodriguez can be reached
via email at Melissa.Rodriguez@dot.state.fl.us or telephonically at (305) 570-8076. Ms. Rodriguez
will be responsible for disseminating Project updates via e-mail to affected area stakeholders
