The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is improving the roadway surface and enhancing mobility and safety along State Road (S.R.) 520 from Aurora Street to the Hubert Humphrey Causeway in Cocoa. S.R. 520 splits east of U.S. 1, with eastbound traffic on King Street and westbound traffic on Willard Street.

In addition to milling and resurfacing the roadway, the project will widen bicycle lanes where possible and remove the auxiliary lane to accommodate wider sidewalks and improve intersection safety on eastbound S.R. 520 east of U.S. 1. Right turn lanes will also be upgraded, and the free-flow eastbound right turn lane at the S.R. 520 intersection with U.S. 1 will also be brought under signal control.

Pedestrian safety enhancements include reconstructing and extending curbs to shorten pedestrian crossing distance, improved crosswalks, and upgraded pedestrian signals. Sidewalk will be constructed to close gaps, and sidewalk curb ramps will be reconstructed to comply with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The project will also upgrade existing traffic signals and modify existing medians and traffic separators.

Other improvements include removing obsolete driveways and driveway reconstruction, and drainage adjustments.
