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. Signalized intersections will be improved at US 19 and SR 44 as well as SR 44 and NE 8th Avenue.

Construction is underway and is expected to be completed in summer 2023.
