The project was accepted from the contractor as completed on June 17, 2021.

This design build project repaved portions of the Withlacoochee Trail in Citrus County.  There were sections of the 29 miles of the trail in Citrus County that were rebuilt due to the condition of the existing pavement. Mid-block crossing enhancements were also completed at CR 48 (Orange Avenue) in Floral City. 

Design began in October 2020 and construction began in January 2021.
