Major Road Projects under Construction:

• 38th Avenue N. to Close for Road Improvements
  
  On Tuesday, May 5, Pinellas County Public Works will close 38th Avenue N., between 33rd Street North and 31st Street N. in St. Petersburg, for road improvements. The expected road closure is approximately 107 days, pending weather conditions.
  
  All vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians are directed to the following alternate routes: 54th Avenue to the north and 22nd Avenue to the south. Travelers may then take U.S. Hwy. 19 to destinations west of the road closure or 16th Street, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street (formerly Ninth Street) or Fourth Street for destinations east of the road closure. All truck traffic east of the road closure must use Fourth Street N.
  
  The scope of this work will require the entire roadbed and underdrain system to be removed and upgraded, necessary due to groundwater conditions compromising the road pavement. The contractor is Pepper Contracting Services, Inc.

  Work continues to accelerate and initial benchmarks are being made on the new Belleair Causeway Bridge construction, which began on March 29, 2007.
  
  Since opening in 1950, the existing Belleair Causeway Bridges have served as a key access route to the 20-plus miles of pristine Pinellas County beaches. However, the antiquated bridges have reached their lifespan capacity and are due to be replaced. The new Belleair Causeway Bridge represents an extensive construction project and a multi-million dollar investment in local communities. It is funded, in part, through Penny for Pinellas dollars and is slated for completion in the spring of 2010.
