13th Street Bridge Replacement Project Information Meeting

The Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners held a public preconstruction information meeting on August 4, 2025, regarding the 13th Street Bridge Replacement Project. The project, fully designed and awarded to Conan Graham Incorporated on June 17, 2025, is set to begin construction in August or possibly September 2025, with an expected duration of 24 months. The meeting detailed the scope of work, including replacing the aging 1957 bridge with a longer, higher structure featuring wider lanes, shoulders, and sidewalks, as well as improved water flow and scour protection. The presentation covered phased construction activities, traffic control plans including lane reductions and detours, and utility relocations. Attendees were informed about ongoing coordination with Sunshine Water and the potential impact on the construction schedule. The project team addressed public concerns about flooding and traffic calming measures, noting plans for pipe repairs and speed enforcement. Contact information and project update resources were provided to the public for ongoing communication throughout construction.
