Welcome
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is working on a roadway and resiliency project along State Road (SR) A1A/South Roosevelt Boulevard in Monroe County.
Please drive safely through the area as we complete final preparations for a traffic pattern and lane shift to the south side of the roadway.

- Repairing and closing retaining wall gaps
- Installing a water pump station system and upgrading storm drainage for mitigation of tidal flooding
- Reconstructing the existing promenade along the south side of the roadway
- Adding some sidewalk along the north side of the roadway
- Upgrading curb ramps
- Installing three pedestrian crosswalks with Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs)
- Repaving and restriping the roadway
- Installing new signage and pavement markings
LANE CLOSURE INFORMATION:
- Nighttime closure is planned starting Tuesday, May 21 from 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m.
- Two travel lanes are temporarily closed, and travel is reduced to a single lane in each direction.
