Although it wasn’t slated to open until early this year, the extension of Alexander Street from Interstate 4 to State Road 39 opened to motorists just before Christmas.
“Our goal was to open it a little earlier than the scheduled completion date to allow residents and other commuters access to the extension, which should offer more convenience on their daily travels through the area,” said David Botello, Florida Department of Transportation public information specialist. “With some remaining shoulder work to be completed, road striping, hand-rail installation and other final touches, the entire project is currently slated for completion by the end of April or first part of May.”
The nearby work on Knights Griffin Road, west of State Road 39, is complete, but the eastern portion won’t be finished until the end of January or first week of February.
