SR 85 from SR 123 to Mirage Avenue PD&E Study

design

FDOT is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study to assess present features, consider community needs and impacts, and develop possible improvements for SR 85 (South Ferdon Boulevard) from SR 123 to Mirage Avenue, just north of Interstate 10.The intent of the study is to address capacity, safety, and study the effect of potential improvements on regional mobility. During the study, alternatives will be developed. These alternatives will include additional roadway capacity, intersection improvements, interchange improvements, and bicycle/pedestrian improvements. Potential environmental impacts associated with the alternatives will also be analyzed and documented.A key part of the PD&E process is sharing and receiving information from the public. All studies are developed to follow the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).Public Meetings:Online Project Update - May 2020Public Hearing - Fall 2021PD&E Study Complete - Summer 2022 Funding: This project has been divided into the following segments for future funding of Design, Right-of-Way and Construction.SR 123 to McWhorter Avenue: Design - funded FY 22; R/W - unfunded; Construction - unfundedMcWhorter Avenue to PJ Adams Pkwy: Design - funded FY 22; R/W - unfunded; Construction - unfundedPJ Adams Pkwy to I-10: Design - funded FY 22; R/W - unfunded; Construction - unfunded
