Benesch was also in charge of coordinating meetings with major stakeholders, updating FDOT’s CFLRoads website with current lane closures and detours and responding to public comments daily. Benesch also orchestrated the ribbon-cutting ceremony, showcasing the ADA accessibility and safety features for pedestrians.
