Beach Boulevard (U.S. 90) and Newell Boulevard Proposed Median Modification
Overview

This project proposes a median modification at the intersection of Beach Boulevard (U.S. 90) and Newell Boulevard to improve safety for motorists.

FDOT proposes the following improvements:

  • Removal of the eastbound left-turn lane onto Newell Boulevard
  • Closure of the existing median opening

Closure of the median opening is proposed due to a persistent crash pattern. Over the past two years, 16 crashes have involved vehicles making left turns from this median opening. After the modification, these left-turn movements would be redirected to nearby signalized intersections at Southside Boulevard or Eve Drive.
