Forest Lakes Blvd. Phase III Roadway Widening Improvements (SR 580 to SR 584/Tampa Road)

Project Overview

Pinellas County completed a Preliminary Engineering Report on the widening of Forest Lakes Boulevard from SR-580 to Tampa Road in Spring 2023. The PER concluded that the roadway should be widened to four-lanes with a center turn lane. The project will also consist of sidewalk, drainage, signalization and rail crossing improvements.

This third phase of the overall corridor will connect Forest Lakes Boulevard to where it was previously widened to four lanes, northeast of Tampa Road. This effort will require coordination with the City of Oldsmar, City of St. Petersburg Utilities, private utility companies, CSX Transportation, and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). This is a cooperatively funded project with FDOT.
