The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is widening Space Commerce Way to four lanes for approximately 2.7 miles from NASA Parkway West to Kennedy Parkway. This will support future growth and economic vitality by allowing the transportation of oversized space industry vehicles to launch sites, as well as regular public and commercial traffic between the mainland near Titusville and North Merritt Island (and other barrier islands in that vicinity). It will provide access for daily visitors to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, as well as support the manufacturing and research workforce of Exploration Park.
