Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
Development and construction of one over/underpass for each side of the Friendship Trail Bridge, connecting Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties' recreational trail systems. This bridge was the old Gandy Bridge, which was aquired by the county governments from FDOT a few years ago. This bridge is now solely for pedestrian and bicycle use. (Additional information available) |

Services Provided/Benefit to State: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
Provide for safe on/off access from future links to both the Pinellas Trail and Hillsborough's Friendship Trail. This area(State Road 92) has a substantial amount of vehicle traffic; providing a safer way to use the bridge should alleviate any congestion problems that might occur when bikes and pedestrians want to gain access to the trail system. |

|
Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
Will ensure a safe transition, over water of Tampa Bay and across heavily traveled Gandy Blvd.(State Road 92) for citizens using the regional link to the two counties. Should reduce incidence of car-bike interactions and thereby reduce accidents and injuries. |
