Whitney Road and Wolford Road Intersection and Roadway Improvements

Project Overview

This project proposes roadway, drainage, sidewalk and traffic safety improvements to the intersection of Whitney Road and Wolford Road. The project limits extend west on Whitney Road to Sapphire Lane and east to Hidden Springs Place.

The proposed design includes new sidewalks on both sides of Whitney Road between Oak Street and Hidden Springs Lane, reconfiguration of the intersection of Whitney Road and Wolford Road and removal of the guardrail. Drainage improvements include switching from open drainage to stormwater piping on the south side of Whitney Road from Sapphire Lane to east of Wolford Road, reconstruction of the culvert crossing and realignment of Long Branch Channel to eliminate erosion.

Pinellas County is currently redesigning the drainage west of the intersection with Wolford Road to minimize impacts to the heavily treed area along the frontage of Arbor Trace. 

Note: The Whitney Road corridor, between U.S. 19 and Bolesta Road, is also being studied for a complete streets project by Pinellas County. Visit the Whitney Road Complete Streets project for more information
