Oakwood Drive Bridge Replacement

Project Overview

Pinellas County replaced the Oakwood Drive bridge over Stephanie’s Channel as part of an effort to maintain and operate a network of over 140 bridges located throughout the County. The bridge, located in the Harbor Bluffs subdivision, was reconstructed with two 10-foot travel lanes and a 7-foot, 6-inch sidewalk that improved pedestrian safety across the bridge. Utility lines, including water, sewer, gas, and power, were also relocated during construction.

To maintain access to the island portion of the neighborhood, the bridge was constructed in two phases. One lane was kept open during construction using a temporary traffic signal to allow for timed, two-way traffic across the bridge.
