The project improvements consist of widening SW Port St. Lucie Boulevard from a two-lane undivided roadway to a four-lane divided roadway, separated by an 18-foot wide median with stamped concrete and landscaping to improve safety and traffic operations; constructing new right-turn lanes on SW Port St. Lucie Boulevard at the north and south approaches to SW Paar Drive to enhance traffic flow; constructing new signalized intersections with mast arms on SW Port St. Lucie Boulevard at SW Paar Drive and SW McCall Road to improve safety and traffic operations; upgrading existing sidewalk curb ramps and constructing a new 8- to 10-foot wide sidewalk along both sides of SW Port St. Lucie Boulevard and adjacent side streets to improve pedestrian safety and connectivity; upgrading the existing lighting to LED fixtures and installing new light poles on the east side of the roadway within the project limits to improve safety for motorists and pedestrians; constructing a new drainage system to enhance functionality and long-term resiliency; and installing signage and pavement markings to improve safety, functionality, and traffic operations.
Construction will begin in September 2025 at an estimated cost of $25,577,357 and is anticipated to be completed in Fall 2028.
Community feedback is at the core of all we do, FDOT works with the public to balance their community vision with the community’s transportation needs. This is routine on all our projects to ensure Florida’s infrastructure is safe, resilient, and efficient for many years into the future.
