The project is currently in Phase 1 of construction. Work will require intermittent traffic shifts and nighttime lane closures, but no detours. The intersection of S.R. 44 and Kepler Road will remain open throughout the duration of the project. See below for a visual representation of the intersection and project work zones during Phase 1. The project work zones are represented by the areas shaded in orange.
FDOT aims to minimize the impact of construction on the traveling public. Constructing this project without detours maintains consistent traffic flow, reducing inconvenience and travel time for motorists.
Drivers should expect delays, avoid distractions, and drive cautiously through work zones.
