DeSoto Bridge will Have Intermittent Lane Closures During Overnight Hours
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has begun improvements on US
41/ US 301 and the Hernando DeSoto Bridge this month. Due to the Manatee River’s aggressive coastal environment, FDOT continually maintains bridge structures.
Fortunately, lane closures will be predominantly during overnight hours from 11 p.m. to 5:30a.m. so inconvenience to motorists should be limited.
During Phase 5 and 6, pedestrian detours will be in place by the River Walk Skate Park.
Marine traffic should be unaffected.
Expect noise from construction equipment, backup alarms, etc....
Scheduled Improvements include:
Superstructure concrete repairs Substructure concrete repairs Concrete deck repairs Steel expansion bearing and joint repair Cleaning & painting
The expected completion is by summer 2022.
Estimated construction costs: $ 748, 965
