About

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is implementing safety and operational improvements along U.S. 192 (West New Haven Avenue/State Road (S.R.) 500). To extend the life of the existing roadway, the project will resurface West New Haven Avenue from Interstate 95 (I-95) to S.R. 507 (Babcock Street) in the cities of Melbourne, West Melbourne, and Melbourne Village.

In addition to the resurfacing, the project will include operational enhancements such as extending left turn lanes and reconstructing existing medians. These safety improvements will focus on enhancing pedestrian and bicycle safety features along West New Haven Avenue. These improvements include restriping travel lanes in both directions to provide 6 foot-wide bicycle lanes.

The project will realign and upgrade existing crosswalks and add new pedestrian crossings throughout the project limits. Furthermore, pedestrian curb ramps will be reconstructed to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and pedestrian signals will be upgraded. Drainage and lighting improvements are also planned.

The Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHB) will be located at the following locations:

  • Pearl Street and Circle Drive
  • Haven Drive and Campbell Drive
  • Wawa Way
  • Bry Lynn Drive
  • Palm Boulevard
