Community Outreach
July 24, 2025: FDOT and Pinellas County held a Project Information meeting to discuss the final bridge design, construction schedule and provide feedback on the options for the traffic control plan during construction from 6 – 7 p.m. at East Lake High School.
Residents noted their preference for two-way traffic on Ridgemoor Boulevard during construction and this was provided to the FDOT project team. Resident preference was measured by the amount of stickers placed on the Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) boards with the different traffic options. MOT Alternative #1 was for Alternating Two-way Traffic on Ridgemoor Boulevard and MOT Alternative #2 was for Inbound Traffic Only on Ridgemoor Boulevard with Outbound Traffic Detoured to Tarpon Woods Boulevard.
Jan. 11, 2024: The Florida Department of Transportation and Pinellas County held a Project Information meeting to help residents learn more about the project and to collect community feedback from 6 – 7:30 p.m., at East Lake High School.
Project Funding
This project is supported by a grant from the Federal Highway Administration, administered by the Florida Department of Transportation, and the Penny for Pinellas.
