​Major Road Improvements Coming to Indiantown Road

An important road project is on the drawing board of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for SR 706/Indiantown Road at the I-95 interchange, east to Central Boulevard.  As one of the busiest road segments in the county, these upgrades will improve traffic operations, mobility and safety, and will enhance bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

At a recent public meeting and webinar, FDOT Project Manager Anson Sonnett, P.E. (954-777-4474; Anson.Sonnett@dot.state.fl.us) and his team described the proposed improvements, which include:

• Realignment and widening of the I-95 northbound to eastbound off-ramp at Indiantown Road, and installation of a traffic signal at the end of the exit ramp
• Adding a lane in each direction on Indiantown Road between I-95 and Central Boulevard
• Widening the bridge over the C-18 canal in both directions
• New bike lanes along eastbound and westbound Indiantown Road from Island Way to Central Boulevard
• New sidewalk in the eastbound direction from the entrance to Florida's Turnpike to Island Way
• Updated signage and pavement markings

Construction of the 1.53-mile project is set to begin in fall 2023 and reach completion by fall 2025.  For complete project information, go to https:///www.d4fdot.com/pbfdot/SR_706_Indiantown_Road_from_Turnpike_to_Central_Boulevard.asp.​
