What's Happening

We're improving the intersection of Key Peninsula Hwy KPN/Olson Drive KPN/ Cramer Road KPN Intersection (CRP 5740). Improvements include:

  • Adding north bound and south bound left-turn lanes on Key Peninsula Hwy KPN.
  • Widening the existing roadway to include sidewalks at the intersection and paved shoulders.
  • Improving existing enclosed storm drain system and adding stormwater treatment facilities.
  • Replacing the existing flashing beacon traffic signal system with a new fully actuated traffic signal system.
  • Improvements are being designed to be consistent with the Key Peninsula Community Plan (KPCP) and will facilitate further, implementation of the KPCP.
