I think the projects above RT 48 on the Leesburg priority list are much worse.
i also think the section of road between 33 and the turnpike is worse than the section between 33 and 27. It’s super dark at night it’s narrow and the speeds are high. Not sure if that is called 48 there or 470.

It is 470 at that point but it has a shoulder which adds a significant level of safety. The section of Rt. 48, from the Sumter Co/Lake Co. line down to Center Hill, is #2 on the list for improvement because it has NO SHOULDER; it's on the safety list on the MPO website which is a different list than the expansion projects. There is far less traffic on that stretch of road but it is being improved because just like the section in Leesburg, it has no shoulder.
Thank you for the reply.
