Alternative Text Description for Design Build (2027-2031)

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MAP OVERVIEW

This map displays FDOT Adopted Work Program roadways that are in the Design Build phase, representing projects where a single firm both completes the design and constructs the project. The map shows the geographic distribution of these Design Build projects across Florida. Design Build projects represent a condensed delivery process compared to traditional project phases where design and construction are separated.

GEOGRAPHIC CONTEXT

The map covers the state of Florida, showing portions of the southeastern United States from the Georgia-Alabama border in the north to the southern tip of the Florida peninsula. Major cities labeled on the map include Jacksonville in the northeast, Orlando in the central region, Tampa and St. Petersburg on the west coast, and Miami in the southeast. Other labeled cities include Tallahassee in the northern panhandle, Gainesville in north-central Florida, Palm Coast on the east coast, Lakeland in central Florida, Cape Coral on the southwest coast, and Coral Springs and West Palm Beach in the southeast. The Gulf of America borders Florida to the west, and the Atlantic Ocean borders the state to the east.

KEY INSIGHTS

Design Build projects are scattered throughout Florida with no single dominant geographic concentration. The distribution shows individual project segments in both urban and suburban areas across the state. Notable clusters appear near major metropolitan areas including Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa-St. Petersburg, and the Miami-Coral Springs region in southeast Florida. The projects appear as linear segments of varying lengths, reflecting roadway improvement projects at different stages of the Design Build phase. No clear statewide corridor or regional pattern dominates the distribution.

VISUAL ELEMENTS

Design Build Roadway Projects

This layer represents roadway segments within the FDOT Work Program that are designated as Design Build phase projects, filtered to show only those projects in the DSB phase.

2027 Fiscal Year Projects (purple lines)

Appearance: Purple colored linear segments

Distribution: No 2027 projects are clearly visible on the map

Notable locations: None identifiable

Spatial patterns: Not applicable due to lack of visible features

2028 Fiscal Year Projects (blue lines)

Appearance: Blue colored linear segments

Distribution: Visible in central Florida

Notable locations: One segment appears in the Lakeland area of central Florida

Spatial patterns: Isolated project segment with no apparent clustering

2029 Fiscal Year Projects (cyan/light blue lines)

Appearance: Cyan or light blue colored linear segments

Distribution: Scattered across multiple regions of Florida

Notable locations: Segments visible near Tampa, in central Florida between Lakeland and Orlando, and potentially near Jacksonville

Spatial patterns: Multiple isolated segments with no concentrated geographic pattern

2030 Fiscal Year Projects (orange lines)

Appearance: Orange colored linear segments

Distribution: Present in both central and southeast Florida

Notable locations: Segments appear near Orlando and in the Naples-Cape Coral area of southwest Florida

Spatial patterns: Widely distributed individual segments in urban regions

2031 Fiscal Year Projects (red lines)

Appearance: Red colored linear segments

Distribution: Concentrated in central and southeast Florida

Notable locations: Multiple segments near Orlando, segments near Cape Coral in southwest Florida, segments in the Miami-Coral Springs metropolitan area, and a segment near Port St. Lucie on the southeast coast

Spatial patterns: Most numerous among all fiscal years shown, with multiple projects in urban areas but no dominant linear corridor pattern

Overlapping Patterns

Some areas, particularly near Orlando, show multiple fiscal year projects in proximity, suggesting concentrated work program activity in those metropolitan regions across the five-year planning period.

SYMBOL GUIDE

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This map represents a filtered subset of the complete FDOT Work Program, showing only projects in the Design Build phase. The FDOT Work Program includes at least 16 different project phases, of which Design Build is one specialized delivery method. Other phases not shown on this map include Construction, Environmental, Project Development and Environment, Preliminary Engineering, Planning, and Right of Way acquisition. The Design Build phase represents a condensed project delivery process where design and construction responsibilities are combined under a single contract. Projects are color-coded by fiscal year to show the planned timeline of Design Build activities across the state. The map shows linear roadway segments rather than point locations, reflecting the nature of transportation improvement projects.

DATA CONTEXT

Data Source: This dataset is derived from the FDOT Adopted Work Program and was created using linear referencing methods that combine the five-year work program spreadsheet with RCI Basemap Roads. The source data is FDOT_WP_2026.

Definition Query: This map displays only roadway projects where PHASE equals 'DSB' (Design Build phase), representing a filtered subset of the complete Work Program dataset.

Scale Information: The map displays statewide coverage at a scale suitable for identifying general project locations and regional distribution patterns. Individual project details and precise roadway alignments would require larger scale views.

Coordinate System: NAD_1983_HARN_Florida_GDL_Albers (WKID 3087)

Limitations: This map shows only Design Build phase projects and does not include projects in other Work Program phases such as Construction, Environmental, Preliminary Engineering, Planning, or Right of Way acquisition. The linear segments represent planned projects and may not reflect final design alignments or construction limits.

Map Coverage: The map covers the entire state of Florida from the Georgia-Alabama border in the north to the southern tip of the peninsula, including portions of neighboring states shown for geographic context. The Gulf of America is visible to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
