About

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) conducted a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study to evaluate alternatives for widening approximately 8 miles of U.S. 301 (State Road (S.R.) 35) from County Road (C.R.) 470 to S.R. 44 in Sumter County.

The initial PD&E Study was completed in 2019, and the project was advanced to design. The project will be built in phases: 

  • FPID No. 430132-2 will add lanes and reconstruct U.S. 301 from C.R. 470 to Industrial Park Drive (formerly C.R. 525E). 
  • FPID No. 430132-4 will add lanes and reconstruct U.S. 301 from Industrial Park Drive to Warm Springs Avenue, including rerouting a portion of U.S. 301 around the City of Coleman.
  • FPID No.: 430132-5 will complete the widening from Warm Springs Avenue to Florida's Turnpike.

The first phase to be built will be 430132-4, which is the realignment around the City of Coleman.
