Based on a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study completed in June 2019, the design would widen S.R. 50 from two lanes to four lanes within the project limits. The PD&E Study evaluated alternatives for four segments of S.R. 50 from U.S. 301/S.R. 35 to C.R. 33 in Hernando, Sumter and Lake Counties. All four segments studied are currently under design. The proposed design being presented at this open house is for two segments: 435859-2, from east of S.R. 35/U.S. 301 and ending at the Hernando/Sumter County line in Hernando County; and 435859-3 beginning at the Hernando/Sumter County line and ending just east of C.R. 478A in Sumter County. The purpose of this project is to increase capacity on S.R. 50, as well as improve safety along the corridor. This project is part of a greater effort addressing existing and future congestion and delays, improving safety and traffic flow, and allowing the S.R. 50 corridor to operate at an improved level of service for all users. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities are also being evaluated. The need for the project is based on six primary factors: system linkage, roadway capacity, legislation/plan consistency, modal interrelationships, safety, and hurricane evacuation.
