U.S. 441 Intersection Improvements U.S. 441 at Bluegill Avenue/Creek Road (C.R. 473) Lake County Financial Project Identification (FPID) Number: 450584-1

Project Description

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is planning improvements at the intersection of U.S. 441 and Bluegill Avenue/Creek Road (County Road 473). The purpose of this project is to improve traffic flow and safety for drivers and pedestrians.

The project includes reconstructing the existing traffic signal with new poles to eliminate the diagonal span and upgrading the signal heads. The project will also reconstruct pedestrian curb ramps as needed to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, add a new crosswalk on the east of the intersection, and resurface the intersection and refresh pavement markings. Additional intersection lighting is planned to enhance visibility and safety.
