Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, part of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), is widening Florida’s Turnpike in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Design is the third phase of the FDOT project development process. Construction plans, specifications, and final estimates to build the project are developed during the design phase.
The project widens Florida’s Turnpike Mainline/SR 91 from north of Glades Road (Milepost 76.8) to north of the L-38 Canal (Milepost 80.2) in Palm Beach County. In addition, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise has partnered with Palm Beach County Engineering and Public Works to widen Yamato Road from west of Lakeridge Boulevard to west of Florida’s Turnpike from four to six lanes.
The improvements are proposed with the goals of:
In 2010, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise completed a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study evaluating the widening of Florida’s Turnpike from the Sawgrass Expressway to Atlantic Avenue (FPID 415927-1-22-01).
As part of the PD&E Study finalized in 2010, potential impacts to the environment were evaluated to avoid, minimize and mitigate any impacts and were documented for this study. Based on the recommended design, there are potential impacts to other surface waters and/or wetlands. As the design phase continues, these impacts and any new impacts associated with the project, including any listed species or other wildlife, will be identified and addressed through the permitting process with the appropriate resource agencies. A re-evaluation will be prepared to document design phase environmental findings.
Noise Studies are performed in both Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study phase and the Design phase. A noise study was completed during the PD&E Study and the final Noise Study Report is in the Documents section below.
