Full Public Notice          Project Plans

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  The applicant proposes to permanently discharge 25,419 cubic yards of fill material into 15.86 acres of wetlands and 18 linear feet of Waterbody 1 which are adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico during the raising, rehabilitation, overlay, and hardening of the two-lane undivided existing State Highway (SH) 87 starting east of Rollover Pass, continuing for 7.5 miles, and terminating 300 feet east of the intersection of SH 87 and SH 124.  The existing roadway will be elevated 3 feet and the transition between the roadway and existing ground would be graded to a 4:1 slope.  The roadside ditches and culverts will be modified to accommodate the improved roadway.  The eastern end of the project will have the south side of SH 87 hardened using armor stone.  The existing box culvert within Waterbody 1 will be extended 18 linear feet.  The existing transition from eastbound SH 87 to northbound SH 124 would be removed and a new transition would be constructed adjacent to the existing southbound SH 124 and the westbound SH 87.  The beach access from SH 87 would be maintained.  The project will be constructed entirely within existing right-of-way which is typically between 120 and 398 feet wide.
