Alachua County announced Tuesday that it recently launched its “Road Projects” website to keep residents informed on the progress of ongoing road work and upcoming projects.
The digital resource will highlight the county’s Transportation Capital Improvement Program (TCIP), which is a $250 million, 10-year initiative funded from the Wild Spaces & Public Places surtax, gas tax, property taxes and state and federal grants.
The TCIP will not only feature road upgrades, but also include improved traffic signals, multi-use trails, new sidewalks and safer pedestrian crossings.
“Keeping our residents informed about these projects is critical,” said Alachua County Commission Chair Charles Chestnut IV in a press release. “Investing in our transportation system is investing in our community’s safety, connectivity, and future. With a clear plan and full transparency, our community can follow along as we deliver on these long-awaited capital investments.”
County staff have completed 22 projects totaling $13.6 million since the program was approved in May 2023. An additional 55 projects — totaling over $75 million — are in the planning stages or under construction for 2025 and 2026.
Residents can review comprehensive information for each project by watching videos, exploring infographics and visual data, viewing the live interactive map, and reviewing major milestones.

Predicting, it’s going to be light on content.
On their site, looking for info on why NW 23rd Ave is taking so long, there’s absolutely no information other than a pat on the back press release from 2024 stating that the project will be completed in Jan 2025 (clearly it’s not, and doesn’t look like it will be anytime soon). Would be great to know why a project is running half a year late.
Oddly, they also incorrectly list it as NE 23rd Ave which I guess is hand in hand with the quality of information they provide.
