Along with these improvements to the south campus also come improvements to Space Commerce Way, the road that travels alongside Blue Origin’s facilities and the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Currently, this road is a two-lane, two-direction road. This means that when Blue Origin transports New Glenn from its facility, this road is shut down in both directions. In another permit application, we see plans on making Space Commerce Way a four-lane road with a median. Parts of this expansion already exist!
This could conceivably allow Blue Origin to transport its vehicles along this road without the need to completely shut it down. Instead, it could close one side of the road and make the opposite side a two-lane, two-direction road for through traffic.
There are exciting things coming to the space coast and we here at Space Explored can’t wait to see, and cover, it all!
