S.R. 40 (Silver Springs Boulevard) from U.S. 441/U.S. 27/U.S. 301 (South Pine Avenue) to NE 25th Avenue
Marion County
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is resurfacing approximately 2.25 miles of Silver Springs Boulevard (State Road (S.R.) 40) from South Pine Avenue (U.S. 441/U.S. 27/U.S. 301) to Northeast 25th Avenue in Ocala. Additionally, turn-lane improvements will be made at the intersection of South Pine Avenue and West Silver Springs Boulevard.
The two left-turn lanes on northbound South Pine Avenue to westbound West Silver Springs Boulevard and the right-turn lane on northbound South Pine Avenue to eastbound West Silver Springs Boulevard will be extended to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. To accommodate the extension of the two left-turn lanes, the midblock crosswalk on South Pine Avenue near Southwest Broadway Street will be removed.
This project will also upgrade pedestrian curb ramps as needed in accordance with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.

During construction, motorists can expect nighttime lane closures and detours, along with construction-related noise, dust, and equipment in the area. Electronic message boards and signage will direct traffic through the work zone.
FDOT encourages drivers to use caution, remain alert, and follow posted detour signs. Please be aware that construction activity and noise levels may vary during different phases of the project. Motorists should anticipate areas of uneven pavement, a common condition during construction when the contractor applies multiple asphalt layers in phases. These roadway conditions are temporary and will improve as the project progresses.
