KINGS HIGHWAY AND INDRIO ROAD
INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECT NO. 0534 BEGINNING DATE: JUNE 12, 2017
On Wednesday, July 12, 2017, St. Lucie County will host an informational Open House for the Kings
Highway & Indrio Road Intersection Improvement project. The Open House will be an informal meeting
held at the Lakewood Park Branch Library at 7605 Santa Barbara Drive, Ft. Pierce, FL. between 4 PM and
6 PM. Project personnel will be on hand to discuss the scope of work, construction schedule and
address questions and comments one on one.
Scope of Work
St. Lucie County under a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) with The Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) is overseeing the construction of the improvements to the intersection of Kings
Highway (approx. 5,000 feet) and Indrio Road (approx.. 4,000 feet). The project will widen the exiting
intersection from a two-lane road to four-lane divided road with dedicated left and right turn lanes to
handle future expected traffic. In addition to the added travel lanes, a 12- foot shared use path and a 6-
foot wide sidewalk will be constructed. Drainage improvements to the project include new stormwater
ponds; relocation of an approx. 1,900 feet of Fort Pierce Farms Water Control District Canal No. 4 and
the installation of a 9 foot by 6 foot box culvert of approx. 1,300 feet within this canal. Project also
includes utility service line relocation. The project will take approximately 2 years being completed by
spring of 2019.
Maintenance of Traffic
To do this work safely, it will be necessary to close travel lanes at various times and locations. One lane
traffic in each direction will be maintained at all times at a minimum through the use of flagging
operations. Single lane closures will be permitted between 9 am and 4 pm for Kings Highway and Indrio
Road. Periodic road closures of local roads which intersect Kings Highway and Indrio Road can be
anticipated.
