The purpose of this project is to increase roadway capacity and enhance safety along State Road (S.R.) 50 (Colonial Drive) from east of Chuluota Road (County Road (C.R.) 419) to S.R. 520 through Bithlo in Orange County. The roadway is experiencing significant congestion and future development indicates the need to widen the road from four to six lanes to serve the community’s needs.

The project proposes to provide three lanes in each direction separated by a raised median. Full and directional median openings will be provided at certain locations along the corridor. 

Safer accommodations for both bicycles and pedestrians will be included. Traffic and pedestrian signal upgrades at the C.R. 13 intersection will help enhance safety and operations. Drainage and lighting improvements are also planned.
