Upcoming Public Hearing for Sunbridge Parkway Extension 02/03 & 02/04

The Public Hearing is being held to give persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, and social, economic, and environmental effects of the proposed improvements. Sunbridge Parkway will serve as a major north-south divided corridor that would ultimately connect Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway (U.S. 192) in Osceola County and State Road (S.R.) 528 in Orange County. The Sunbridge Parkway Extension is anticipated to be a four-lane divided roadway accommodating motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists between U.S. 192 and Nova Road (County Road (C.R.) 532) in Osceola County. In addition to the roadway widening, proposed improvements include enhanced access management, roundabouts for safer traffic flow, wildlife crossings, and stormwater management facilities.
