Improving the safety and capacity of Elbow Road between Stumpy Lake and Salem Road.
As of August 31, construction progress is 48% complete. Concrete has been placed for 10 of the 13 bridge support pier caps. Girders are set for six of 12 of the bridge spans. Concrete for the roadway bridge deck and pile driving for the west abutment of the bridge will begin in late September 2026.
Work on the stormwater pond at Stumpy Lake has resumed and is nearing completion. Drainage and roadway work continued east across Indian River Road and onto Savannah Way. The first 17 posts and foundations for Sound Wall #3, between Orchard Hill Lane and Savannah Trail, have been installed.
The Elbow Road Extended Phase II-B & II-C project will realign Elbow Road into a four-lane section extending from Salem Road to Stumpy Lake. The project includes relocating the Elbow Road and Indian River Road intersection and providing alternative access for adjacent commercial, residential, and recreational areas.
A key feature of the project is the replacement of the existing 20-foot bridge over the North Landing River with a new 1,050-foot bridge that spans the wetlands and the 100-year floodplain. The new roadway will have a posted speed limit of 45 mph.
