About
This project will widen and reconstruct SR 50 (Cortez Blvd) from east of US 301 to the Sumter County line. The two lane roadway will be widened to a four lane roadway and a bridge will be built over the CSX railroad crossing. A 12 foot wide shared use path will be built on the south side of the roadway.
Burwell Road will be realigned to a new intersection with SR 50 just to the east of its current location.
Construction is active and is projected to be completed in the spring of 2025.
