The purpose of this project is to construct improvements on East Colonial Drive (State Road (S.R.) 50) from Thornton Avenue to Mills Avenue (U.S. 17-92). The project will promote motorist and pedestrian safety along this segment of East Colonial Drive. Specific improvements include:

• Reconstructing and upgrading the traffic signal at the intersection of East Colonial Drive and Mills Avenue, including new signal poles.
• Extending the eastbound left-turn lane to Mills Avenue to increase space for turning vehicles.
• Constructing a traffic separator on East Colonial Drive west of Mills Avenue to better define the extended left turn lane.
• Reconstructing and extending all four corners at the intersection of East Colonial Drive and Thornton Avenue to improve safety for pedestrians

Other improvements include reconstructing sidewalk as needed and enhancing intersection lighting. No changes are planned for the existing on-street parking.
