This hearing will give interested people an opportunity to review the project design and ask questions about the proposed improvements. Displays that illustrate the proposed improvements will be available at the hearing, along with informational videos. All meeting materials will be available for review the day of the virtual hearing on the project website, www.floridasturnpike.com/widenturnpikeus27tocr470.
