This project proposes to widen about 2.3 miles of U.S. 301 (State Road (S.R.) 35) from County Road (C.R.) 470 to Industrial Park Drive (formerly C.R. 525E) in Sumter County. The improvements follow the recommendations of the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study completed in 2019.

The purpose of this project is to help accommodate traffic growth and alleviate congestion. Proposed improvements include widening U.S. 301 within the project limits to provide two lanes in each direction separated by a raised median. Safer accommodations for both bicycles and pedestrians will be included by adding a 12-foot-wide shared-use path on both sides of U.S. 301.

The project will be constructed under a design-build contract.
