AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval for Monroe County Mayor to submit a letter to the Florida
Department of Transportation(FDOT) confirming the County's support and concurrence with the
proposed plan to divert traffic to Card Sound Road, a county-maintained road, for temporary detours
during the upcoming FDOT road project FM 446005-1 on US 1 from MM 108.4 to MM 112.8 (18-mile
stretch).
ITEM BACKGROUND:
FDOT is finalizing engineering design plans for project FM 446005-1, which involves repairs to
sections of US 1 on the 18-mile stretch from MM 108.4 to MM 112.8. The proposed Maintenance of
Traffic (MOT)plan for the project includes temporary nighttime closures of US 1 and diversion of
traffic onto Card Sound Road in order for repairs to be completed more expeditiously.
During the time that the traffic is diverted the County would need to suspend toll collection on Card
Sound Road. The details of how FDOT will reimburse the County for lost revenue are being discussed
with staff and will be finalized in a resolution at a future meeting; a draft resolution is attached for
information only. FDOT is seeking concurrence with the proposed plan to divert traffic to Card Sound
Road at this time in order to be able to advertise for construction bids using a Maintenance of Traffic
plan that incorporates the closures.
The project will be awarded in 2024 and is scheduled for 450 days. The work that will necessitate
diversion to Card Sound Road is later in the project. It is anticipated that diversion of traffic to Card
Sound Road will be for approximately 40 days.
