The purpose of this project is to enhance safety through access management improvements along State Road (S.R.) 520 (West King Street) from Cox Road to Aurora Street in Cocoa West. The project is based on recommendations in the Access Management Safety Study completed in June 2019. The goal of access management is to reduce the number and severity of crashes by reducing conflict points, or areas where vehicles can cross paths and potentially crash.

The project calls for closing some median openings and constructing directional median openings at other locations. New left turn lanes will be added at several intersections, while others will be extended to provide more space for vehicles.

The project will also repave turn lanes and upgrade existing traffic signals. Necessary drainage work and lighting upgrades are also planned.
