This project also featured safety and design improvement which included drainage, shoulder gutter, guardrail, signage for the Turnpike Mainline (SR 91) from Mile Post 178.3 – 190.5 in Indian River and Okeechobee counties. The ultimate purpose is to bring better service to the traveling public by addressing concerns caused by a consistently growing rate of users of this corridor connecting the South and Central Florida areas.
