The work is being performed as part of project No. 450952-1, a resurfacing project on S.R. 40.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will make improvements to the South Pine Avenue (U.S. 441/U.S. 27/U.S. 301) intersection just south of West Silver Springs Boulevard (State Road (S.R.) 40).

The purpose of this project is to extend the two left-turn lanes on northbound South Pine Avenue to westbound West Silver Springs Boulevard and to extend the right-turn lane on northbound South Pine Avenue to eastbound West Silver Springs Boulevard.

The extension of the turn lanes will improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. To accommodate the extension of the two left-turn lanes, the midblock crosswalk on South Pine Avenue near Southwest Broadway Street will be removed.

During construction, motorists can expect nighttime lane closures and detours. Electronic message boards and signage will inform drivers of the upcoming work. Construction equipment, noise, and dust are expected. The schedule is subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen conditions. Motorists can also see real-time traffic conditions, road closures and detour routes to plan their trip by visiting FL511.com or by checking the Florida 511 app.
