Project Overview

The South Gap of the Pinellas Trail will extend from 126th Avenue N. in Pinellas Park to Haines Bayshore Road in Largo. It will be constructed in two phases, the first with one segment and the second with three. Both sections are in design. One small section of the South Gap has already been completed: a stretch of trail along Ulmerton Road between 58th Street N. to 56th Court N., including an underpass under Ulmerton Road.

The project will generally consist of a paved 12-foot-wide surface. It will be designed and constructed to meet all federal and state Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and safety standards.
