The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study to evaluate improvements to State Road (S.R.) 524 from Friday Road (south) to Industry Road in Brevard County, a project length of approximately 3.15 miles.  

The purpose of this study is to evaluate alternatives to improve roadway capacity, safety, and enhance
multi-modal opportunities to include bicycle and pedestrian facilities.  In addition, several potential highway and intersection improvements will be considered. The no-build alternative will also be evaluated. The PD&E study is being conducted to determine the location and conceptual design of the preferred roadway improvements and the associated social, economic, and environmental effects of the improvements.

The FDOT held the PD&E Study public hearing virtually on Tuesday, January 20, and in person on Thursday, January 22. Copies of the draft project documents are available for public review until Monday, February 2, 2026, at the Catherine Schweinsberg Rood Central Library, 308 Forrest Avenue, Cocoa, FL, 32922 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday; from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday; from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday; and on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The library will be closed on January 1, 2026, and January 19, 2026.
