The Florida Department of Transportation will hold public meetings later this week to provide details on the planned widening of Southwest Port St. Lucie Boulevard.
A virtual session is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 28, from 5 to 6 p.m. Residents may register online here or join by phone at 1-562-247-8321 using access code 791-226-075. The format includes two identical half-hour presentations followed by public questions and comments. A recording will be available afterward on FDOT’s District 4 website.
An in-person open house will take place the same day from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Port St. Lucie Municipal Complex, 121 SW Port St. Lucie Blvd. FDOT and consultant staff will be on hand to answer questions in an informal setting.
The $25.6 million project will expand the roadway from two lanes to four, separated by an 18-foot median with stamped concrete and landscaping. Planned improvements include:
- New right-turn lanes at the north and south approaches to SW Paar Drive
- Signalized intersections at SW Paar Drive and SW McCall Road with mast arms
- Upgraded and expanded sidewalks, including 8- to 10-foot-wide sidewalks on both sides of the roadway and adjacent streets
- New LED lighting and light poles on the east side of the corridor
- Drainage improvements, signage, and pavement markings
Construction is scheduled to begin in September and is expected to be completed in fall 2028.
