West Bay Drive Improvements

Project Overview

Pinellas County proposes improvements along West Bay Drive within the City of Belleair Bluffs and City of Largo. The project begins at Belleair Bridge in Belleair Bluffs and continues east for approximately 1.9 miles to the intersection of Clearwater-Largo Road in Largo.

Throughout the project limits, West Bay Drive extends through a mix of residential and suburban commercial neighborhoods. The intent of this project is to mill, resurface and restripe the pavement, add landscaped medians and construct a 10-foot-wide sidewalk on the south side to improve pedestrian safety and connectivity for residential areas and local businesses to the Pinellas Trail.

NOTE: Most project improvements are located within the City of Largo. Project work within the City of Belleair Bluffs will be limited to roadway resurfacing. At least one lane of through traffic in each direction is expected to be maintained at all times.
