SR 40 East - Silver Springs to Lake County Line

This proposed project would expand the current two-lane section from Silver Springs to CR 314A to four lanes. FDOT has established a collaborative process with several agencies and interested citizens to review and make recommendations regarding improvements to the corridor. For the latest information, go to www.sr40.org. FDOT has also budgeted $2,500,000 for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to begin in late 2005. The EIS is a in-depth study of the potential environmental impacts that any major improvements to the roadway may have.

Pending Project:

• An environmental study of the 25.5 miles from the end of the existing four lanes to US 17 in Volusia County is in progress
• Design of the ten miles from Silver Springs to CR 314A if funded in FY 2011/2012

Ocala Beltway

In the mid-1980s, one of the issues identified by the TPO was a need to divert traffic coming through the urban areas to destinations elsewhere. The original concept was a beltway designed to divert traffic around the Cities of Ocala and Belleview. The Ocala Beltway identified a series of limited-access roadways designed to divert traffic around the two cities. The original concept included converting several existing roadways (SR 326 north of Ocala, Baseline Road east of Ocala, and CR 484 west of Belleview) to limited-access roads. The concept also identified new roads such as SW 80th Avenue west of I-75 to complete the Beltway. Eventually, it was decided that conversion of existing roads would not be cost effective. In 1991, the TPO eliminated the Beltway concept in favor of a series of expansions of the existing roadways and the creation of the Belleview Bypass. Today, these roadways are in various stages of development. Please see the Current Projects Section for more information.

SR 35 (Baseline Road) - SR 464 to Belleview Bypass

• Expand 2.5 mile section to 4 lanes
• Marion County is currently developing the design for this portion of the project
• Construction currently not funded

Belleview Bypass - SR 35 to US 441

This project was developed to alleviate traffic, especially heavy-truck traffic, from the Belleview area. The new, four-laned roadway is planned to begin at the intersection of SE 93rd Steet Road and go east and south around the east side of Belleview.

• New four-lane roadway
• Marion County is currently developing the design for this portion of the project
