Subject:	Howard Frankland Bridge PD&E Study (northbound bridge replacement) and Regional Transit Evaluation Public Hearing; WPI Segment No.: 422799 1. The FDOT is conducting a two-session public hearing regarding the replacement of the northbound Howard Frankland Bridge (I-275/SR 93) in Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties. This span of the bridge opened to traffic in 1959 and is nearing the end of its serviceable life. The proposed improvements involve the replacement of the existing northbound I-275 Howard Frankland Bridge over Old Tampa Bay and evaluating options for accommodating a future premium transit envelope within the bridge corridor. A simultaneous Regional Transit Corridor Evaluation is underway to evaluate premium transit corridor alternatives within the bridge corridor to link the Gateway area in Pinellas County to the Westshore area in Hillsborough County. The purpose of this public hearing is to present information and receive public input regarding the bridge replacement; however, information regarding both studies will be available at the public hearing.
