Orange Avenue is planned to be widened from two lanes to four lanes along the segment between the Orange/Osceola County Line and the Florida's Turnpike, a distance of approximately 0.6 miles. The project includes in-pavement bicycle lanes in each direction along with sidewalks along both sides of the roadway. Additional improvements will include upgraded drainage systems, enhanced roadway lighting, intersection upgrades, and landscaping.
This roadway widening will increase capacity to accommodate future travel demands, reducing congestion and improving overall traffic flow. The addition of bicycle lanes and sidewalks will enhance safety and connectivity for pedestrians and bicyclists, creating a more accessible and multimodal corridor.
The project is currently in the design phase and plans are estimated to be completed in mid 2027. Construction is currently anticipated to begin in mid 2029 with an estimated completion date of mid 2031.
At the start of the right-of-way acquisition process, a newsletter will be sent to nearby property owners and interested stakeholders to detail anticipated impacts. A third and final newsletter will be sent when the project is sent to bid with an updated estimated construction timeframe.
