The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is resurfacing approximately 6.5 miles of U.S. 441 (Orange Blossom Trail) from north of Colonial Drive (State Road (S.R.) 50) to the S.R. 414 ramps. This work will extend the life of the existing roadway and enhance overall safety.

Other improvements include the installation of bike lanes in select locations, filling in sidewalk gaps, and reconstructing pedestrian curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. FDOT will also replace the existing open median at Mott Avenue with a directional median to reduce potential conflict points. This change will allow left turns from U.S. 441 onto Mott Avenue, while restricting left turns from Mott Avenue and Pope Road onto U.S. 441. A bi-directional median will also be installed at Busby Avenue/National Street to help improve traffic flow.

Additional safety improvements include narrowing travel lanes by one foot to help moderate vehicle speeds, widening turn lanes, adding median landscaping, and upgrading traffic signals and lighting to improve visibility and traffic efficiency.
