Project Details
About
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is adding eastbound and westbound passing lanes on State Road (S.R.) 60 from Blanket Bay Slough to Peavine Road in Osceola County. These improvements are designed to enhance safety and traffic flow by providing drivers with designated areas for safer passing opportunities. The project also includes milling and resurfacing 4.3 miles of the existing roadway.
Additional improvements include reapplying audible and vibratory roadway treatments to alert drivers when they drift out of their lane. Upgraded signage and guardrail installation will further enhance safety along the corridor. Drainage improvements, including new storm drains and two new stormwater ponds, will also be added.
