US 41/SR 45/South 50th Street at CSX Grade Separation Design Change Re-evaluation from South of Causeway Boulevard to North of Causeway Boulevard in Hillsborough County. The purpose of this alternatives public workshop is to gather public input from interested persons about proposed alternatives for the improvement of this segment of US 41 and Causeway Boulevard. These improvements include considering a grade separation of US 41 at the CSX railroad crossing south of Causeway Boulevard, as well as mobility and safety improvements along US 41 and a thorough review of natural and social environmental impacts in the study area. The project begins just south of the CSX railroad crossing and extends to the north of Causeway Boulevard, a distance of approximately 1.5 miles. FDOT has sent notices to property owners located up to 300 feet of the proposed project right-of-way on either side of US 41. Alternatives Public Workshop: Tuesday, November 19, 2019 Port Tampa Bay, Terminal 6 1101 Channelside Drive Tampa, FL 33602 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. During the workshop, the public will have an opportunity to review project displays and aerial photographs, submit comments about the proposed improvements, and discuss the proposed alternatives with FDOT and the project team. Your comments and input are important to us as part of the evaluation process. There will be a short presentation covering general project details which will run continuously throughout the workshop.
