Dr. Delay: Updates on interchanges at U.S. 19.

 
Published Dec. 10, 2018

Any update on if and when they will do an overpass at both Curlew and Tampa road at U.S. 19? That seems to always be backed up, every day.

As part of the ongoing U.S. 19 interchange project, two interchanges have been funded, one at the intersection of Curlew Road and U.S. 19, which had a $6.5 million design cost. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2020. The other funded project, at U.S. 19 and Main Street, cost $5.1 million for design and $14.6 million for right of way. There are also three proposed interchanges that have yet to be funded. The projects are located at U.S. 19 between County Road 95 and Pine Ridge Way S, from Nebraska Avenue to Timberlane Road and between Timberlane Road and Lake Street.
