Port St. Lucie Blvd. South Project

Description: Construction of approximately one mile of roadway widening from 2 to 4 lanes along. Project includes adding multi-use paths, landscaped median, irrigation, signalized intersections, roadway lighting, curb and gutter, underground drainage, bridge replacement, and relocation of water and sewer lines.

Design started in May 2020 and is expected to be completed in 2024. Construction is unfunded in the FDOT 5-Year Work Program; however, staff has tentatively allocated $15-20M in the City's draft CIP for FY 2025/26. Please note this tentative allocation is not supported by current revenue projections. City staff is coordinating with FDOT and the TPO to explore funding opportunities for construction. Construction is estimated to begin October 2026 and end October 2028. Assuming a funding source is identified, construction could begin in October 2026 and would last approximately 2 years.
