The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Seven, is holding a virtual project update to present information and gather feedback concerning the US 41 PD&E Study from Kracker Avenue to south of SR 676 (WPI No. 430056-1) in Hillsborough County.<\/p>\n
FDOT conducted the PD&E study to evaluate the potential environmental, social, and cultural effects of widening US 41, and a State Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was prepared and approved by FDOT on January 12, 2017. The FDOT is now pursuing federal eligibility for this project since approval of the SEIR. This will result in updated and additional analyses, as well as the preparation of a Type 2 Categorical Exclusion (CE).<\/p>\n
The proposed improvements include widening the roadway from four to six lanes, replacing the bridges over Bullfrog Creek and the Alafia River, making operational improvements at key intersections, installing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and constructing necessary pond sites.<\/p>\n
