The purpose of this project is to repave State Road (S.R.) 44 from N. Hill Avenue to the eastbound Interstate 4 (I-4) on ramp, with the exception of the proposed limits of a new roundabout at the S.R. 44 intersection with Kepler Road. The roundabout will be constructed under a separate design-build project, (FPID No. 431922-1) scheduled to begin in summer 2024.

Improvements also include safety and operational upgrades such as correcting slopes at two curves and upgrading the guardrail at the I-4 overpass. Pedestrian safety improvements include enhanced intersection lighting, upgraded pedestrian signals, and reconstructed sidewalk curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
