The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) announces a workshop to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: January 26, 2016, 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.

PLACE: First Baptist Church Lake Alfred, 280 E. Pierce Street, Lake Alfred, FL

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Chain of Lakes Trail in Polk County, Florida extends north from Central Park in Winter Haven to US 17/92 in Lake Alfred. The paved trail is approximately 3.2 miles in length. The Chain of Lakes trail is a multiuse pathway that provides access to many of the lakes in the area. There is an intermodal trailhead adjacent to the WHAT (Winter Haven Area Transit) Terminal, providing access to the City’s transit system. With this bridge, the Chain of Lakes Trail will connect with the Lake Alfred Trail.

This project will construct a 12-foot-wide pedestrian bridge over US 17/92 at the north end of the trail. The bridge will be the sister bridge to the trail bridge over Avenue T in Winter Haven, connecting the southern and northern sections of the trail. The new bridge will be a key connector link in the proposed Old Dixie Trail.
