The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will provide roadway and safety improvements on State Road (S.R.) 464 from SW 2nd Avenue to S.R. 35 in Ocala, Marion County. The purpose of the project is to rehabilitate the road and enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

Work will consist of milling and resurfacing the roadway, as well as upgrading the pedestrian signals and enhancing intersection lighting. To facilitate operations along the corridor the project will be modifying some driveways and adjusting drainage as needed. Additional work will include the construction of sidewalks, bicycle lanes and bus stops along the corridor.

WHAT TO EXPECT:  During construction, motorists should expect lane closures and detours on weekdays and/or weekends. Electronic message boards and other signage will be used to direct traffic through the work zone. Uneven pavement is a common condition with projects that require temporary asphalt pavement or resurfacing, as the contractor must put down different layers of asphalt during various phases of construction. Motorists are asked to exercise caution and reduce their speed while driving through the work zone.

The construction schedule may change due to weather or other unexpected conditions.
