The project's construction cost was approximately $32 million and was completed between Jan. 21, 2020, and Jan. 15, 2021. The contractor completed the project early and achieved the maximum incentive of $2 million. "The Department is so pleased to complete these much-needed improvements for this community," said Mario Cabrera, P.E., FDOT District Six Construction Engineer. "These projects have been in the works since 1999 and address safety, flooding, water quality, economic competitiveness, and preserving the existing roadway."
