Project Description
The project involves the reconstruction of State Road (SR) 710/Warfield Boulevard from SW Fox Brown Road (MP 8.9) to SW Allapattah Road (MP 14.872) in Martin County, Florida. The overall project length is within the Village of Indiantown.
Within the project limits, SR 710/SW Warfield Boulevard is a two-lane (one lane in each direction), undivided roadway with a painted median and a posted speed limit of 35-60 mph. The corridor includes 12 ft travel lanes with flushed shoulders. SR 710/Warfield Boulevard is a strategic intermodal system (SIS) facility with a functional classification of urban rural principal arterial and context classification of C3C -Suburban Commercial.

A 10-ft shared use path is provided on the north side of the roadway. In addition, the intersection at SW Allapattah Road will be signalized to enhance safety.
