The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) implemented safety and operational improvements along U.S. 192 (West New Haven Avenue/State Road (S.R.) 500). To extend the life of the existing roadway, the project resurfaced West New Haven Avenue from Interstate 95 (I-95) to S.R. 507 (Babcock Street) in the cities of Melbourne, West Melbourne, and Melbourne Village.
In addition to the resurfacing, the project included operational enhancements such as extending left-turn lanes and reconstructing existing medians. These safety improvements focused on enhancing pedestrian and bicycle safety features along West New Haven Avenue. These improvements included restriping travel lanes in both directions to provide 6-foot-wide bicycle lanes.
The project realigned and upgraded existing crosswalks and added new pedestrian crossings throughout the project limits. Furthermore, pedestrian curb ramps were reconstructed to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and pedestrian signals were upgraded. Drainage and lighting improvements were also completed.
