About
As of July 22, 2026, all construction activities associated with this project have been completed.
This design-build project widened US 98, also known as the Dade City Bypass, from two lanes to a four lane highway between 7th St. S and 7th St. N.
Two roundabouts were built with the project: One is at 7th Street S and one at Old Lakeland Highway. To view a video about driving roundabouts, click here.
New traffic signals were added at the Meridian Avenue, 7th Street N, and River Road intersections. The existing signal at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard was improved. Sidewalks were built on both sides of the highway.
With a design-build project, the contractor is responsible for finalizing the design plans and building the improvements. The design portion of the contract began in March 2023. Construction work began in late January 2024.
