Project Overview

Needs Assessment

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, is performing a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study along U.S. 41 (S.R. 45) from Enterprise Drive to South Sumter Boulevard. This evaluation is necessary due to the ongoing urbanization and growth in this area, which requires action to improve and maintain safe and efficient transportation measures.

Planning, Design, Right of Way Construction

The PD&E study is scheduled for completion in Spring 2010. The design of the improvements from Enterprise Drive to South Cranberry Boulevard is included in the Department’s Tentative Five Year Work Program and is funded for design in fiscal year 2011-2012. Construction from Enterprise Drive to Flamingo Boulevard is funded in fiscal year 2013-2014. The design of the improvements and construction from South Cranberry Boulevard to South Sumter Boulevard is not included in the Department’s Tentative Five Year Work Program. Right-of-way acquisition for the entire project is not currently funded in the FDOT Tentative Five Year Work Program.

Project Overview

As a result of the rapid urbanization along this corridor, the study will include the evaluation of additional lanes and non-motorized transportation needs in this developing area, including existing and proposed trails along with any other appropriate facilities to accommodate walking and bicycling.
