Brooker Creek Bridges – East Lake Road
Project Overview
The East Lake Road (CR-611) Bridges over Brooker Creek are located 1.5 miles north of Tampa Road (CR-752) in the unincorporated Pinellas County commonly referred to as East Lake. These bridges were originally built in 1991 over Brooker Creek.
The northbound and southbound structures each have a bridge length of 160 feet with three spans of 40, 80, and 40 feet, providing a combined bridge length of 320 feet. Both bridges have an overall width of 51’-8” and a roadway width of 41’-6” with an 8’ sidewalk. The existing northbound roadway provides three 11-ft lanes with two 4’-6” and 2’-6” shoulders on the northbound, while the southbound roadway provides two 12-ft lanes with two 10’-0” and 6’-6” shoulders.
The purpose of this project is to widen East Lake Road (CR-611) to provide a six-lane divided roadway from Cove Drive to Pasado Drive. The proposed typical section of each bridge will provide three 12’-0” lanes with 10’-0” shoulders and 10’-0” or 6’-0” barrier protected sidewalks. The 10’-0” sidewalk will be constructed on the Southbound bridge and will connect to Pinellas Trail along the west side of the project. The northbound (6’-0”) sidewalk will connect the east side sidewalk which provides connectivity to adjacent communities.
