ABOUT U.S. 301 WIDENING AND REALIGNMENT ON 2/20/25
The Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) will be hosting an open house about the proposed widening of U.S. 301 (State Road 35) from County Road 470 to Florida's Turnpike on Thursday, February 20, 2025. The event will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Trinity Baptist Church, 3027 U.S. 301, Wildwood, FL 34785.
According to FDOT, the purpose of this project is to widen U.S. 301 to four lanes to address traffic growth and congestion, accommodate the high volume of existing and future truck traffic, and support social and economic opportunities for the fast-growing region. The project includes realigning a portion of U.S. 301 around the City of Coleman.
Attendees of the open house will be able to view a looping presentation and project displays, speak with project team members, and submit comments or questions. In addition to the in-person event, FDOT is offering the following online opportunities to learn more and submit feedback:
