Intersection improvements are nearing completion at U.S. 1 and Burton Drive in Tavernier. Since July, crews have been revamping and enhancing an intersection that’s seen its share of incidents over the years. With a price tag of $1.1 million, crews worked to realign Burton Drive, the road leading to Harry Harris Park, to provide 90-degree intersection crossings at the northbound and southbound legs of U.S. 1. New signals were also installed at the intersection. Modifications were made to the driveway to Shell and Circle K gas stations. New crosswalks were added on the east leg of Burton Drive northbound on U.S. 1, and a new crosswalk was installed northbound on U.S. 1 from Burton Drive to the Circle K. DAVID GROSS/Keys Weekly
