SR 70 from Jefferson Ave. to CR 29 PD&E Study
Owner: FDOT District One Location: Highlands County, Florida
KCA is conducting a PD&E study of SR 70 from Jefferson Avenue to CR 29 in Highlands County for FDOT District One. SR 70 serves as an east-west corridor across Central Florida from Bradenton on the west coast to Fort Pierce on the east coast. The objective of this study is 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 will also be assessed. The study will cover 7.2 miles and include evaluating improvements to the SR 70 intersection at US 27. The KCA team is responsible for studying traffic and function, access management, pedestrian/bicycle/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 NEPA document.
