Alachua County launches dynamic “Road Projects” website
Press release from Alachua County
ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. – To keep residents informed on the progress of road projects, Alachua County is unveiling its “Road Projects” website. The site will keep residents informed and engaged about the major improvements happening across the county.
This digital resource shines a light on the County’s ambitious Transportation Capital Improvement Program (TCIP), a 10-year initiative backed by over a quarter of a billion dollars in funding from the Wild Spaces & Public Places surtax, state and federal grants, gas tax, and property taxes.
While road upgrades take center stage, the TCIP is about much more — it’s about safe, accessible, and modern infrastructure that enhances everyday life for everyone in Alachua County. The TCIP program includes new sidewalks, improved traffic signals, multi-use trails, and safer pedestrian crossings.
“Keeping our residents informed about these projects is critical,” said Alachua County Commission Chair Charles Chestnut IV. “Investing in our transportation system is investing in our community’s safety, connectivity, and future. With a clear plan and full transparency, our community can follow along as we deliver on these long-awaited capital investments.”
Since approving the program in May 2023, County staff have completed 22 projects totaling $13.6 million. Another 55 projects — totaling over $75 million — are under construction or in the planning stages for 2025 and 2026.
Residents can review comprehensive information about each project’s journey by exploring infographics and visual data, watching videos, exploring the live interactive map, and reviewing major milestones.

Residents can also sign up for updates at the bottom of the page by simply entering their email addresses.
wow.. Not sure if NW 83rd street in front of Santa Fe will be much more than a dirt road by 2028 that they have designated as it’s plan year.
That road is horrible.
Santa Fe could throw in some money for the road since they are exempt from property taxes!
misconception. while largely tax-exempt, they do pay Property tax on some of their property. you can verify at the Tax Collectors website
It would be good if they put in a bike lane for all the traffic on SW 75th street leading into the Kanapaha area. Now, if you want to bike to Archer Road, you must ride with the traffic on a two-lane 55mph road for almost two miles. There are thousands of homes in this area.
Lol…good luck with all of that. They won’t even repave that section of Tower Rd/SW 75th
That section of Sw 75th street is terrible, you just about need a moon rover to get through it.
There always a horse 🐎 & buggies
No help
I was trying to help on the bright 🌞 side
Walking ?
They’re working on the roads that don’t need major repairs. The roads they’re working on like Williston road to Waldo road. Tower road needs help. 34th street from Waldo rd to 441 needs major help north east 9 street needs help.let me stop!
Agree but traffic is …delaying people.
Let try when there’s less traffic 😌
So much to do, so little being done. If only there were some large, public research institution nearby that they could partner with to explore increased efficiencies in methods and materials.
No
More doesn’t get done
Just cost increase 😑.
There are better
It’s needs wants
&
Just a fact
When around to it
it gets done.
