Improvements on John Sims Parkway After Construction is Completed
John Sims Parkway, also known by its designation – SR-20, is currently being milled and resurfaced by contractors for FDOT.
The 2.62-mile span of road between Edge Avenue to the west and the Rocky Bayou Bridge to the east has a long list of improvements drivers are going to notice when the project is completed in 2023.
There are several improvements on tap, including:
- Milling and resurfacing all travel lanes, turn lanes, and medians.
- Constructing a new sidewalk on the north side of S.R. 20 from the Oak Creek Shopping Center to Rocky Bayou Drive.
- Constructing a grassed median west of Palm Boulevard.
- Widening the roadway at key locations to extend or shift existing turn lanes to improve traffic flow.
This project is anticipated to be completed in spring 2023.
The Information from the Florida Department of Transportation’s District Three (3) office warns that “all activities are weather dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. Drivers are reminded to use caution, especially at night, when traveling through a work zone and to watch for construction workers and equipment entering and exiting the roadway.”
