The Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension project (from Collier Boulevard to 16th Street NE) is an approximately 7-mile extension of the existing roadway.

The construction contract was awarded to Sacyr Construction USA. Construction is anticipated to begin in early fall 2022 and last about 3 years.

A public information meeting was held on Sept. 15, 2022, to update the public on the upcoming construction and anticipated schedule.

The handout for the public information meeting can be accessed here.

The following displays were available at the meeting:

The final roadway design includes the following improvements:

  • New six-lane divided roadway from east of Collier Boulevard to Wilson Boulevard, including new bike lanes and a shared-use path
  • New two-lane undivided roadway from Wilson Boulevard to 16th Street NE including roadway shoulders and a shared-use path; plans allow for a future 4-lane and ultimate 6-lane roadway
  • New roadway includes construction of bridges over the Curry Canal, Corkscrew Canal, and Orange Tree Canal
  • New intersections with traffic signals at Wilson Boulevard, 8th Street NE, and 16th Street NE
  • The existing Cypress Canal along Vanderbilt Beach Road (from west of 31st Street NW to 15th Street NW) to be relocated further south to accommodate the widened roadway
  • Intersections at Weber Boulevard and Danbury Boulevard to connect to the new Vanderbilt Beach Road
  • Intersections at Douglas Street and Greyhawk Trail extend to the new Vanderbilt Beach Road (the old roadway segment to be designated as Old Vanderbilt Beach Road)
  • Massey Street improvements include a new shared-use path (west side) and drainage upgrades with curb and gutter

In November of 2021 the preliminary 100% roadway plans (which are not bidding documents) were completed (click on the following links to download the plans):
