Improvements include adding signal heads, additional signage, and special emphasis crosswalks. Additional improvements include a proposed restricted crossing U-turn (RCUT) at the 21st Street intersection adding a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) on mast-arm assemblies.

• There will be a permanent merge lane closure at 12th Street turning right onto US 301 south.
• Turn lanes for the median crossover at 21st Street are closed until construction is completed both northbound and southbound.
• Motorists can expect intermittent lane closures as workers install sod throughout the project limits.
• Motorists may wish to add additional travel time or choose an alternate route.
• The intersection improvement project will go through mid-2025.

SR 758 Bee Ridge Road at the Legacy Trail: Construction project: Crews are constructing two new pedestrian bridges and intersection improvements along the Legacy Trail in Sarasota County.

• Lane closures: Through the month of April and the first week of May, there will be east and westbound lane closures and detours on Bee Ridge Road starting at 7 p.m. through 6 a.m. The detours are necessary so crews can conduct overhead bridge construction and eventually remove the existing roadway crosswalk, once the bridge is open.
•  Detours: Expected to be intermittent during the rest of April and the first week of May.
• Final project completion is expected in June 2025.
