The Florida Department of Transportation is proposing a $516 million diverging diamond interchange to address severe traffic congestion at the intersection of State Road 54 and U.S. 41 in Land O’ Lakes. The project, part of a Project Development and Environment study, aims to improve traffic flow amid projected growth in vehicle volumes on these routes by 2045. Public input was sought through a virtual update, with residents expressing concerns about the impact on nearby businesses and neighborhoods. While the project would affect over 20 properties, no construction dates or funding have been finalized, with right-of-way acquisition planned for 2028-30.
