About

This project will repave SR 44 between US 19 and NE 10th Ave. in Crystal River.  Additionally, raised medians with dedicated left-turn lanes and mid-block pedestrian crossings will be added.  The bike lane widths will be increased to 5-feet. An 8-foot sidewalk will be added to the north side of the roadway and the existing sidewalk on the south side will be repaired and gaps will be filled in where there is available right of way.

The signalized intersection will be improved at US 19 and SR 44, and a new signal will be installed at SR 44 and NE 8th Avenue (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue).

TRAFFIC SIGNAL UPDATE: The new signal at SR 44 and NE 8th Avenue (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue) was put into operation on March 1, 2023. Crews will continue to monitor and adjust signal timings to provide the best flow possible for the traffic demands at different times of the day and night. Motorists are advised to be alert to the changed conditions at this intersection.
