The Manatee Board of County Commissioners received an update on the pilot program designed to make it easier and safer for emergency vehicles to reach citizens in need by giving them green lights at intersections.
The Meeting is Saturday, February 18th to discuss the roadway capacity-improvement project to widen approximately a 1 mile of 75th Street W., from 20th Avenue W. to Manatee Avenue W. from the existing two-lane section to a divided four-lane section with a center left turn lane and/or raised median.,
Lorraine Road
Distance: 2.8 miles
Estimated cost: $38.1 million
Three major road projects in East County that were not previously listed in Manatee County’s five-year capital improvement plan were pushed ahead to the design phase unanimously by county commissioners at an April 20 meeting.
The three projects are the widening of a 2.8-mile stretch of Lorraine Road from State Road 64 to 59th Avenue East from two lanes to four; widening of a 2.6-mile stretch of Upper Manatee River Road from State Road 64 to Fort Hamer Bridge from two lanes to four; and an extension of Lena Road by about a half-mile to create a continuous route from S.R. 64 to State Road 70.
