DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

The Florida Department of Transportation, District 2 announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: April 12, 2016, 4:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.

PLACE: Bradford County Library, 456 Pratt Street, Starke, FL 32097

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This meeting is being held to afford interested persons the opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, social, economic and environmental effects of Financial Project ID: 434038-1 and 435780-1, otherwise known as US 301/SR200 Bridge over Alligator Creek in Starke, FL and CR-200A Bridge over Alligator Creek in Lawtey, Florida.

US 301/SR200 Bridge Over Alligator Creek - The proposed bridge will have two 12-foot travel lanes, 5-foot bike lanes, and 6 foot sidewalks in each direction. Because the bridge is connecting to roadway sections that do not accommodate bike lanes, bike lanes are not provided beyond the bridge transitions. During construction, traffic will be reduced to two-lane, two-way traffic. This can be accomplished due to the anticipated traffic reduction resulting from the construction of the Alternative Truck Route (which will be completed before this project starts).

CR 200A Bridge Over Alligator Creek – The proposed bridge will have two 11-foot travel lanes and 8-foot shoulders. During construction, the road will be closed to through traffic and a detour route has been established. The ability to close the road will provide a shorter replacement time by allowing construction crews to get the work done quicker without having to maintain traffic flow.

Public participation is sought without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability or family status.

A copy of the agenda may be obtained by contacting: Mr. Bill Henderson, District Planning and Environmental Manager, Florida Department of Transportation District 2, 1109 S. Marion Avenue, MS 2007, Lake City, Florida 32025-5874.
