contracts for upgrades to 33 miles of Florida’s Turnpike (SR-91) in Palm Beach
and Martin counties are among Ranger Central’s numerous ongoing projects. The
division is milling, resurfacing and making safety improvements to 13 miles of
turnpike in Palm Beach County under a $15.58 million agreement and 20 miles in
Martin County under two contracts worth $20.08 million.
Although the project teams are challenged with heavy traffic volumes and night
work, they are making excellent progress. In fact, the first phase of work in
Martin County will be completed three months early. The work in both counties
will be wrapped up by late spring next year.
The contract has placed Ranger Central at the forefront of technology; portions
of the job will use the PaveSmart grade control system, a computerized system
that accurately controls milling and automates the paving. The advanced
technology helps crews produce a more consistent product with a smoother riding
surface.

resurfacing and median improvement project on a stretch of Lake Worth Rd. in
Palm Beach County, FL.
