FDOT Project Study

US 1 and CR 510 Intersection Review
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is seeking input on alternatives being evaluated for the intersection of US1 and Route 510. FDOT will host public information workshops to present to present information on alternatives being considered. It is important that you are aware of this project and voice your opinion as the intersection is a major point of transit for our community.

Alternative 1 is an at-grade solution with added lanes to enlarge overall traffic capacity.

Alternative 2 features an overpass that would take east-bound and west-bound traffic on Route 510 over the railroad tracks and intersection. The County’s Metropolitan Planning Organization will have two workshops on this topic:

• February 27 starting at 6 p.m. This workshop is offered in a virtual format. To attend the virtual workshop, register with the following link https://bit.ly/cr510pde. You will receive an email with a link to log in on the day of the virtual meeting. If using a mobile device, the free “GoToWebinar” application is required to attend. 

• February 29 starting at 5:30 p.m. held in-person in Indian River County’s Administration Building B, room 501 on the ground floor behind the stairwell, at 1800 27th Street in Vero Beach. 

The same information will be presented at both workshops.

The workshops are intended to both inform the public regarding the project and the proposed alternatives, and, most importantly, gather public input and comment.

Surveillance Camera Database

The Town of Indian River Shores residents and business-owners who own video security systems can help the Indian River Shores Public Safety Department by allowing detectives to view stored video. Video of traffic passing in front of a certain location can provide crucial information to detectives, even if a crime occurred outside of the Town. The Indian River Shores Public Safety Department maintains a confidential database of security cameras that may capture information that can be used in a criminal investigation. Information about participants in the program will remain anonymous. For more information contact Neve Hall at (772)231-2451, or by e-mail at nhall@irspsd.org.
