This project consists of resurfacing and safety improvements for the Florida’s Turnpike Mainline (S.R. 91) from MM 190.500 to MM 198.500, in Osceola County for a total length of 8.00 miles. S.R. 91 is functionally classified as a Rural Principal Arterial – Expressway and is part of the National Highway System (NHS) and the State Highway System (SHS). S.R. 91 is also a Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Corridor with a Limited Access Right-of-Way of 400 feet.

The main objective of the project is to extend the life of the existing pavement through the milling and resurfacing of the existing northbound and southbound travel lanes, inside and outside shoulders, ramps at Yeehaw Junction Interchange, and the paved median openings. Safety improvements will include construction of ground-in rumble strips, repair of all guardrail openings for maintenance access and adjustment or replacement of guardrail as necessary, cross slope correction to meet governing criteria, shoulder drop-off correction along the edge of pavement, replacement of non-compliant signing within the project limits, milling and resurfacing of the tandem truck parking lot and driveway connection at Yeehaw Junction, and install under deck lighting at SR 60 underpass and transitional lighting at the interchange ramps.

SR 91 is functionally classified as a Rural Principal Arterial – Expressway and is part of the National Highway System (NHS) and the State Highway System (SHS). SR 91 is also a Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Corridor with a Limited Access Right-of-Way of 400 feet. The corridor has a posted and design speed of 70 MPH. The existing typical section is a four-lane, divided, rural facility with two 12 ft. lanes, an 8 ft. inside shoulder with 4 ft. paved, and a 12 ft. outside shoulder with 10 ft. paved, in each direction. The northbound and southbound roadways are separated by a 40-ft. median. A median double-face guardrail with rub rail is adjacent to the southbound travel lanes throughout the project limits. There are five bridges (#920124, #920055, # 920125, #920056 and #920057 over SR 91) and two farm crossings located at MM 195.1 and MM 198.2.
