This project includes milling and resurfacing University Avenue (State Road 26) from Southwest 38th Street to Gale Lemerand Drive and installing three Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) signalized crosswalks. Other project improvements include base work, shoulder improvements, sidewalk and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramp upgrades, signal and signage upgrades, and lighting improvements at the PHB locations.

The three PHBs will be installed at the following locations:

• East of Northwest 32nd Street
• Midblock between Northwest 28th Terrace and Northwest 28th Street
• Approximately 100 feet east of Southwest 23rd Drive

Preferred Materials Inc. was awarded the $4 million contract.

Traffic will be maintained in accordance with FDOT design standards throughout the project. Lane closures will not be permitted from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Work along University Avenue will typically occur at night.
