Panther Parkway
Sebring, FL
PHASE I – In fall 2001, DCCM completed the design for widening approximately one mile of Fairmount Drive from a two-lane local road to a five-lane major collector with sidewalks. Construction was completed by the end of 2002 at a cost of $500,000.
PHASE II – DCCM supported the County by designing highway lighting and signalization for six intersections and preparing the design and permitting for six stormwater retention ponds along the two-mile route.
PHASE III – In January 2017, DCCM contracted with the Highlands County Board of County Commissioners to modify the design of a 4.3-mile segment of Sebring Parkway Phase III between Sebring and Avon Park. The original design and permit, completed by others, proved cost-prohibitive and jeopardized an FDOT CIGP Grant. Leveraging our expertise in stormwater permitting, DCCM redesigned the entire roadway and modified the Environmental Resource Permit, managing $3.2M in FDOT funding. Construction, estimated at $8M, began in March 2018. By August 2019, the north-end connection to the Memorial Drive Roundabout was completed, and the Sebring Roundabout (formerly Panther Parkway) on the south end was finished by year-end 2019.
