This project is widenening US 41 from SR 44 (W Main Street) to south of the bridge over the Withlacoochee State Trail from a two-lane roadway to a four-lane divided road with bike lanes and sidewalks. New traffic signals will be installed at a realigned intersection of US 41 / Montgomery Avenue /Zephyr Street and at the US 41 intersection at the Inverness Regional shopping center. Signal upgrades will be made at the US 41 / SR 44 intersection.

The improvements on this project include:

• Add one lane in each direction.
• Add a median separation.
• Add street lighting to all signalized intersections.
• Provide bicycle lanes adjacent to travel lane in each direction.
• Provide sidewalks on both sides.
• Pedestrian safety upgrades at intersections.
• Add a dedicated left turn lane for the southbound traffic going to Inverness Middle School.
• Provide a shared used path to connect sidewalks to the Withlacoochee State Trail (WST) at the north end of the project. The WST will not be impacted by this project.

New lane alignments on US 41

As of December 20, 2024, US 41 traffic has been shifted to the next construction phase, with northbound and southbound lanes in the permanent alignment on the outside of the corridor from SR 44 to south of the bridge over the Withlacoochee State Trail. Each direction currently remains in a single lane alignment as construction continues to build the traffic separators and median areas to allow a second lane to open in each direction in 2025. Please use caution through this area as drivers become accustomed to the changed conditions, don't exceed the posted speed limit, and remain alert to construction workers and equipment.
