Subject:	The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has new information concerning the State Road (S.R.) 20 Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study in Washington and Bay counties. This information provides interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the proposed improvements. The FDOT is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study to consider reconstructing portions of S.R. 20 from S.R. 79 to U.S. 231 in Washington and Bay counties to add capacity, enhance safety, and address flooding issues. These improvements consist of widening S.R. 20 from two to four lanes and elevating low-lying segments of the roadway prone to flooding. The study will develop and evaluate viable alternatives and will make recommendations to address existing and future needs. The total distance of this study is approximately 27.2 miles. There are two FDOT design projects within this PD&E Study area. The first design project is S.R. 20 from S.R. 79 to the Bay County line in Washington County, (FPID# 220635-5-32-01). Right-of-way acquisition and construction are not currently funded for this project in the FDOT Five-Year Work Program. The second design project is S.R. 20 Bridges over Econfina Creek and Econfina Relief in Bay County (FPID# 445141-1-32-01). Right-of-way acquisition and construction are funded for this project in the FDOT Five-Year Work Program.
