The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Seven<\/strong>, in collaboration with Hillsborough County, is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study along Branch Forbes Road from south of US 92 to north of I-4 in Hillsborough County.<\/p>\n

The PD&E study will evaluate capacity improvements (i.e., roadway widening), operational improvements at the I-4 interchange, and the addition of bicycle and pedestrian facilities within the study limits.<\/p>\n

The objective of the project is to develop and evaluate “Build” alternatives and engineering analyses and documentation for the FDOT to reach a decision on the type, conceptual design, and location of the improvements. The “No-Build” or “No Action” alternative remains a viable option throughout the PD&E Study.<\/p>\n

A Type 2 Categorical Exclusion is being prepared as part of this study. The proposed improvements will include construction of stormwater management facilities (SMF) and floodplain compensation (FPC) sites. The PD&E study satisfies all applicable requirements, including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to qualify for federal-aid funding of subsequent development phases (design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
