“The length of this project is less than a mile, which may seem small to some outside of this community, but I have a saying at the department, ‘There are no small projects.’ Every project is important and impactful to the community that it’s in and this project is no exception,” said DOT District Five Secretary John Tyler. “This is not just an FDOT project. It’s a true community project. Focusing on our communities is a core value of FDOT. We are proud to work with our local communities, their leaders, and stakeholders to build strong partnerships that lead to exceptional projects. FDOT does its best work when partnering with our communities.”
