Project Details
About
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will resurface State Road (S.R.) 46 from east of Monroe Road/Upsala Road (County Road (C.R.) 15) to French Avenue (U.S. 17-92). In addition to resurfacing the roadway, the project recommends replacing the existing center two-way left turn with a raised median to enhance safety and help encourage slower driving speeds. Safety improvements will be made to pedestrian and transit facilities.
Some on-street parking will be eliminated to provide 7-foot-wide buffered bicycle lanes. New traffic signals and crosswalks will be installed at Mangoustine Avenue, Persimmon Avenue, and Aero Lane/Harvest Time Drive. Additional midblock crossings, new sidewalk connections to fill existing gaps, and upgraded pedestrian curb ramps are also planned. Existing lighting will be retrofitted to current criteria at three intersections: Central Park Drive/Old England Loop, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard/Rand Yard Road, and Airport Boulevard/West First Street. Obsolete driveways are to be removed to improve pedestrian mobility.

Lane Closures
-
Sunday, November 9 to Friday, November 14: Motorists can expect intermittent single lane closures in both eastbound and westbound directions on State Road (S.R.) 46, between French Avenue and Monroe Road/Upsala Road. These closures will alternate between the inside and outside lanes to allow road crews to safely perform thermoplastic application, signalization, and final punch list work.
FDOT encourages all roadway users to drive, walk and ride with caution and courtesy!
