Narcoossee Road Widening Project

Background

The Narcoossee Road widening project is located in southeast Orange County. The project is situated south of State Road 417 (Greeneway), east of Lake Nona, north of the Osceola County line and west of the Lake Hart/Lake Whipoorwill Rural Settlement. The project limits begin at Osceola line and extends north to State Road 417, a distance of approximately 3.9 miles. ADD LINK Project Location Map

The existing roadway is rural in character and includes a single travel lane in each direction along with roadside drainage swales. The roadway widens at points along the route to accommodate turn lanes at major cross streets.

Land uses served by this portion of Narcoossee Road include low and medium density residential, commercial, institutional, rural/agricultural and conservation. This project is identified in Orange County's Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Policy Plan and is designated as a Partnership Project.

On October 10, 2006 the Orange County Board of County Commissioners approved two agreements that established partnerships for both the funding and the design and construction of a six-lane widening of Narcoossee Road. The accelerated funding for this project is comprised of impact fees and a grant established between Orange County and the Florida Department of Transportation for $5.7 million through the Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP).

Purpose

The proposed Narcossee Road widening project will utilize a 15.5-foot raised landscaped median to divide the 6-lane typical section (three lanes of traffic in each direction). The typical section also features 11-foot wide travel lanes, 4-foot on-road bicycle lanes, 6-foot wide sidewalks as well as roadway lighting. Improvements will also provide a curb and gutter stormwater collection system on each side of the road and a closed, underground stormwater collection system on each side of the road and a closed, underground stormwater collection system on each side of the road and a closed, underground stormwater conveyance system requiring a number of new stormwater ponds.
