Board of Adjustments Meeting · 2026-05-27 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns planned improvements to roadways and intersections in St. Lucie County. The proposals include adding a northbound right turn lane at Old Dixie Highway and North Beach Causeway, along with signalization upgrades at that intersection. Additionally, a southbound right turn lane is proposed at State Road A1A and Atlantic Beach Boulevard. Other potential improvements involve widening Seaway Drive to four lanes, adding a northbound left turn lane at Ocean Drive and Binney, and widening Ocean Drive to three lanes. Further options include upgrading the Jensen Beach Causeway to four lanes, widening Indian River Drive, State Road A1A, and Jensen Beach Boulevard to multiple lanes, or improving the Stuart Bridge and Ocean Boulevard Causeway to four lanes. Another option is constructing a two-lane bridge to South Hutchinson Island at the Walton Road corridor and widening Walton Road to four lanes. These improvements are currently under review by the Board of Adjustments. The project scope would likely involve site clearing, grading, utility work, road construction and paving, and traffic signal installation. Contractors specializing in heavy civil construction, roadwork, paving, and utility installation, as well as suppliers of construction materials and equipment, could find opportunities. Engaging early in the review process may provide an advantage before final plans and permits are established.
