Widen Turnpike, O’Brien Road to US 27

design phase

The project involves widening Florida’s Turnpike Mainline/SR 91 from O’Brien Road to the US 27 North interchange from a four-lane divided expressway to an eight-lane divided expressway. This expansion aims to provide additional capacity to meet future traffic demand in 2045, improve emergency evacuation times, and enhance safety within the corridor. The construction will include eight 12-foot travel lanes (four in each direction), 12-foot shoulders, a 26-foot median with a barrier wall, improvements to the US 27 North interchange, reconstruction of Turnpike bridges, installation of new Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) gantries, drainage culvert extensions, Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS), retaining walls, drainage, signing and pavement marking, signalization, and lighting.
