Project Area

Construction will take place during both daytime and nighttime hours. Nearby residents and businesses may experience periodic construction noise, vibration, and dust. The Enterprise takes steps to reduce construction impacts and efforts will be made to limit traffic and noise disruptions.


Lane closures will generally take place during off-peak hours to minimize traffic congestion and delays for most drivers. Closures and detours will be announced in advance in the Central and West Central Florida Weekly Lane Closures and Work Zone Advisory.

Innovation

Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise is at the forefront of planning for a safer, more efficient, and technologically advanced transportation system for the future. The Enterprise continually seeks opportunities to integrate emerging transportation technologies that can help reduce congestion, create mobility choices, minimize environmental impacts and improve safety. The Enterprise also recognizes that connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies hold unprecedented opportunities for enhancing mobility and increasing safety on our roadways.
