SR 70 from Jefferson Avenue to CR 29 PD&E Study

SR 70 serves as an east-west corridor across central Florida from Bradenton to Fort Pierce. The objective of this study was to evaluate widening SR 70 between Jefferson Avenue and CR 29 to provide a four-lane facility with paved shoulders. Adding a multi-use trail and sidewalk was also assessed. The study covered 7.2 miles and included evaluating improvements to the SR 70 intersection at US 27. The KCA team was responsible for studying traffic and function, access management, pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular safety, utility coordination, stormwater management, wetlands and protected species assessment, cultural resources, public and private conservation lands evaluation, air and noise, contamination, and public involvement as well as completion of the project’s National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) document.
