This project will change the existing six-lane divided highway to a six-lane controlled access roadway with one-way frontage roads in both directions parallel to US 19 between SR 580 and CR 95.

An Interchange is planned just north of Boy Scout Road.  This interchange will accommodate U-turn movements between northbound and southbound frontage roads and serve as a pedestrian crossing. In addition to the interchange, pedestrians will have a dedicated underpass between Evans Road and Republic Drive.

A new interchange at SR 586 (Curlew Road) will also be added so that US 19 traffic will travel uninterrupted as it passes over SR 586.  New ramps will provide access to new frontage roads and SR 586. 

A new pedestrian bridge over US 19 is planned at Northside Drive.

Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2023 and be complete in 2029

Project 256774-2 has been combined with this one for a single construction project. All updates will be posted on this page. 

*Construction cost includes original construction contract amount plus approved contract changes. It does not include inspection oversite.
