Frequently Asked Questions


What is the purpose of these projects?
The purpose of the projects is to add capacity and improve safety on Midway Road (CR 712) to accommodate project traffic demands through 2045.

What are the limits for these projects?
The limits for these projects are Midway Road (CR 712) from Glades Cut Off Road to Jenkins Road and Jenkins Road to Selvitz Road, a combined distance of approximately 1.6 miles, in St. Lucie County.

What are the planned improvements?
These design projects include widening the existing two-lane road to a four-lane divided road, including 7-foot buffered bike lanes. A 6-foot sidewalk will be constructed on the north, and a 12-foot bicycle/pedestrian path is included on the south. The design project improves safety and allows opportunities for pedestrian, bicycle and transit facilities along the segment. Additionally, the project includes replacing the existing bridge over the Florida Turnpike. Working with the key stakeholders: St. Lucie County, St. Lucie Transportation Planning Organization (TPO), Florida's Turnpike Enterprise (FTE), the scope of the project has expanded to include a new partial interchange with Florida's Turnpike. The design of the new partial interchange (FPID: 451858-1) will be led by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise and includes a northbound off-ramp, and southbound on-ramp. The partial interchange will be constructed in conjunction with the Midway Road segment from Glades Cut-Off Road to Jenkins Road (231440-4). For more information please visit www.midwayramps.com (coming soon).

Why are design plans being completed if the project is not funded for construction?
This is a priority project for St. Lucie County.  With complete design plans, this will help the two projects be considered for and receive additional funding as funding becomes available. Please note, the segment from Jenkins Road to Selvitz Road (231440-5) is funded for construction. Construction will begin winter of 2023.
