This project widened US 41 from SR 44 (W Main Street) to south of the bridge over the Withlacoochee State Trail from a two-lane roadway to a four-lane divided road with bike lanes and sidewalks. New traffic signals were installed at a realigned intersection of US 41 / Montgomery Avenue /Zephyr Street and at the US 41 intersection at the Inverness Regional shopping center. Signal upgrades were made at the US 41 / SR 44 intersection.
The improvements on this project included:
Added one lane in each direction.
Added a median separation.
Added street lighting to all signalized intersections.
Provided bicycle lanes adjacent to travel lane in each direction.
Provided sidewalks on both sides.
Pedestrian safety upgrades at intersections.
Added a dedicated left turn lane for the southbound traffic going to Inverness Middle School.
Provided a shared used path to connect sidewalks to the Withlacoochee State Trail (WST) at the north end of the project. The WST was not impacted by this project.
