Project Details
About
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is implementing safety improvements on a three-quarter-mile segment of U.S. 192 (State Road (S.R.) 530) from U.S. 27 to the Orange County line. The purpose of the project is to maintain a safe and reliable travel surface.
In addition to resurfacing, planned improvements include:
• Restriping a section of westbound U.S. 192 to provide a dedicated right turn lane into Town Center Boulevard West.
• Adding crosswalks at the intersection of U.S. 192 and Town Center Boulevard East. This will include updated traffic signals and reconstructed curb ramps as needed to comply with ADA standards.
• Adding 6-foot-wide sidewalks on the north and south sides of U.S. 192 where none exist.
• Resurfacing on ramps to U.S. 27.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Motorists should anticipate areas of uneven pavement within the project limits, a common condition during construction when the contractor applies multiple asphalt layers in phases. Temporary lane closures should also be expected throughout the work zone both day and night, as crews require buffer zones to remain protected from oncoming traffic during construction operations.
Single-lane closures within 600 feet of a signalized intersection are not permitted between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. on westbound U.S. 192, and between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on eastbound U.S. 192.
Double-lane closures are not permitted between 1:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. on westbound U.S. 192, or between 6:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. on eastbound U.S. 192. Double-lane closures within 600 feet of a signalized intersection are not permitted between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. on westbound U.S. 192, and 6 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. on eastbound U.S. 192.
Roadway conditions are temporary and will improve gradually as the project progresses. While workers are on site, motorists are strongly encouraged to exercise caution and reduce speed to ensure the safety of everyone on the roadway. The project timeline is subject to change and may be adjusted due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Lane Closures
-
Sunday, Jan. 18 through Wednesday, Jan. 21: Both northbound Town Center Boulevard entrance lanes to the Publix plaza will be closed. Northbound traffic from U.S. 192 will be detoured to the existing southbound left-turn lane and then back onto the northbound lanes at the first median opening. This work is to Install drainage.
Note: If the contractor is able to finish the drainage installation on the northbound side by Tuesday, the contractor will switch sides to the southbound exit on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. If they do not finish the northbound side by Tuesday, the contractor will wait to complete the southbound exit to avoid a weekend detour.
Tentative
Wednesday, Jan. 21 through Friday, Jan. 23: Both southbound Town Center Boulevard exit lanes from the Publix plaza will be closed. Southbound traffic to U.S. 192 will be detoured to an existing northbound lane. This work is to install drainage.
FDOT encourages all roadway users to drive, walk, and ride with caution and courtesy!
