The purpose of this project is to improve operations and safety along State Road (S.R.) 40 (Granada Boulevard) from Breakaway Trail to Williamson Boulevard in Ormond Beach. The proposed improvements follow recommendations of a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study completed and approved in November 2014.

The purpose of the PD&E Study was to evaluate the roadway, intersection, and capacity improvements needed to address future traffic demand along this regionally significant roadway while also maintaining important freight transport and emergency management mobility. The section of S.R. 40 is designated as an emerging Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) facility and is designated as a hurricane evacuation route.

Design of the project is expected to begin in spring 2023. Right of way acquisition will be needed for this project and is tentatively scheduled to begin in spring 2025.
