The Florida Department of Transportation is working to improve operations at the intersection of John Young Parkway (U.S. 17-92 / South Orange Blossom Trail) and Pleasant Hill Road / South Hoagland Boulevard.  The project aims to relieve congestion, improve access, extend bicycle and pedestrian facilities, enhance aesthetics, and add landscaping within the project area.  These improvements will consider capacity, safety, and multi-modal enhancements while minimizing potential impacts to the natural and human environments. The project is being conducted in three (3) steps:

• Step 1: Resurfacing, Restoration, and Rehabilitation (RRR) Project – John Young Parkway (U.S. 17-92 / South Orange Blossom Trail) from east of Ham Brown Road to south of Portage Street.  Under Construction.  Refer to FPID 445210-1 for more information.

• Step 3: John Young Parkway Widening – Future widening of John Young Parkway (U.S. 17-92 / South Orange Blossom Trail) from Pleasant Hill Road / South Hoagland Boulevard to Portage Street
