About

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is implementing safety and operational improvements on U.S. 1 (State Road 5) from Myers Drive to the Crane Creek bridge in Melbourne and Palm Bay. The project includes resurfacing the roadway to extend its life, drainage improvements, sidewalk enhancements, and safety upgrades.

Bicycle safety will be improved by restriping the travel lanes to provide 7-foot-wide buffered bicycle lanes from Myers Drive to University Boulevard. Pedestrian curb ramps will be reconstructed to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and pedestrian signals will be upgraded. Enhanced lighting at signalized intersections is also included.
