Public Meeting for Interstate 95 and Pioneer Trail Interchange Study Next Week

Volusia County -- The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has scheduled a public kickoff meeting for the Interstate 95 (I-95) at Pioneer Trail Interchange PD&E study, from Williamson Boulevard to Turnbull Bay Road in Volusia County. The objective of the study is to evaluate the potential impacts of the proposed I-95/Pioneer Trail interchange and assess the proposed project's impact on the social, economic, cultural, natural and physical environment.

 

The purpose of the proposed interchange at I-95 and Pioneer Trail is to relieve traffic congestion on the two adjacent interchanges north and south of the project: I-95 at State Road 421/Dunlawton Avenue and I-95 at State Road 44/Lytle Avenue. The project also aims to support economic development associated with existing and approved developments, including three developments of regional impact.

 

The public kickoff meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 13, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Sugar Mill Country Club, 100 Clubhouse Circle, New Smyrna Beach, FL 32168. This informal, open house meeting will introduce the project and study process, present information regarding existing conditions and is an opportunity to receive feedback from the community.

 

The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project is being, or has been, carried out by the FDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 14, 2016, and executed by the Federal Highway Administration and FDOT.
