The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Seven is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study along US Highway 301 (US 301)/State Road 41 (SR 41) in Manatee and Hillsborough Counties to evaluate alternative roadway improvements along the corridor. The study limits are from north of Moccasin Wallow Road in Manatee County to SR 674 in Hillsborough County, a distance of approximately 10.1 miles.
This PD&E Study will evaluate potential improvements along the corridor, including roadway widening, safety enhancements, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, stormwater management facilities (SMF), floodplain compensation (FPC) sites, and potential bridge improvements, while minimizing environmental impacts, considering agency and public input, and ensuring compliance with all applicable federal and state laws.
This PD&E Study will satisfy 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).
