State Road 518 Design Open House Scheduled

Posted on May 29, 2019

FDOT

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold an open house regarding the design of operational and safety improvements on State Road (S.R.) 518 (Eau Gallie Boulevard) from west of Interstate 95 (I-95) to east of Sarno Road in Melbourne from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 6, at Emmanuel United Methodist Church also in Melbourne.

During the open house, attendees will have an opportunity to view a looping video presentation and project exhibits, speak with project team members, and provide input on the design. Proposed improvements call for widening Eau Gallie Boulevard to add an eastbound through lane, providing bicycle lanes in each direction, and upgrading auxiliary lanes. The project will widen the northbound I-95 off ramp, the southbound I-95 on ramp and the southbound I-95 off ramp to improve safety and operations at the interchange. Traffic signal modifications, sidewalk extensions, and drainage improvements are also planned.

Persons who require accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act or persons who require translation services (free of charge) should contact the FDOT Project Manager Sam Jumber, P.E., by phone at 386-943-5244 or by email at [email protected] at least seven days prior to the meeting. If you are hearing or speech impaired, please contact us by using the Florida Relay Service, 1-800-955-8771 (TDD) or 1-800-955-8770 (voice).

Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability or family status. Persons wishing to express their concerns relative to FDOT compliance with Title VI may do so by contacting the FDOT District Five Title VI Coordinator Jennifer Smith at [email protected]

Media inquiries should be directed to the FDOT Communications Office at [email protected] or by phone at 386-943-5479. Project information is also available online at CFLRoads.com.

FDOT urges all drivers to stay alert and use caution while driving through or near construction zones. When driving, walking, or bicycling, remember to pay attention and follow the rules. Safety doesn’t happen by accident.
