Widen the Turnpike Mainline / SR 91 from North of US 27 / SR 19 (North) (MP 289.3) to North of Leesburg / CR 470 (MP 297.3)

The project widens a segment of the Turnpike Mainline / SR 91 from US 27 / SR 19 (North) to north of Leesburg / CR 470.

The widening will increase the number of travel lanes from four to eight.

Work includes pavement widening, milling and resurfacing, maintenance of traffic plan, new stormwater treatment facilities, new bridge structures, new ramp tolling sites, signing, pavement marking improvements, signals, lighting, communications, and right-of-way acquisition.

2027 is a few years away but many times they do the bridges prior to the actual widening of the payment. This project is way over do.
