DOT to discuss 5 year work plan on Tuesday

Officials from the Florida Department of Transportation will hold a public hearing on December 2nd to discuss the Department’s tentative five year work program.

The hearing will allow the public to see the projects DOT has scheduled between July 1st, 2015 and June 30, 2020 and possibly make changes to the program.

There are about 20 projects planned for Franklin County over the next few years – many of them at the airport in Apalachicola.

Some larger projects on the list include resurfacing Highway 98 in Apalachicola from 12th street to the Apalachicola Bridge which should happen in 2015.

There is also a resurfacing project for Highway 98 between the Gulf county line and Tilton Road which is planned for 2016.

DOT is planning to resurface Bald Point Road in 2016, add a bike path to Bayshore Drive in Eastpoint in 2018, and widen and resurface Ellis van Vleet Street in Apalachicola in 2017.

You can see the full 5 year work plan for any county in Florida at the Department of Transportation website.

The public hearing will be held on December the 2nd starting at 8 AM at the Department of Transportation District office in Chipley and broadcast live to DOT offices in Midway, Milton, Panama City and Ponce De Leon.
