Some changes are coming for an intersection you probably drive every day.

The Florida Department of Transportation is upgrading signs at the intersection of I-95 and I-10. We’re told they’re working to make signs more reflective in order to cut back on the need to light them.

“We want to try to make it as clear as we can for signage,” says FDOT Spokesman Ron Tittle.

Tittle says the project will be focused on I-95 from MLK Parkway to I-10, and then I-10 west from I-95 for a few miles. He says there wasn’t any specific incident that is sparking the change, rather their engineers are constantly assessing what could improve efficiency and safety on major roads.

They’ll also be adding more “mile marker” style signs at the interchange, so that in the event of a breakdown or other emergency, you can more clearly give emergency responders a picture of where you are.

Tittle says the construction will last through mid-next year, but shouldn’t have a very substantial impact on traffic. Single lane closures will begin around 7:30PM, and if needed, double lane closures would be after 9:30 PM on I-10 or 10 PM on I-95.
