If you’re tired of seeing road construction in our area, bad news, it won’t be done anytime soon. The Florida Department of Transportation expects to be very busy over the next couple of years. In just 2019 alone, the state plans to spend more than $150 million on Suncoast roads. One of the bigger projects that may impact Manatee County drivers is the Bradenton-Palmetto Connector project development and environment study. A spokesperson for FDOT says before any work begins they’ll be doing that study to determine ways to improve the roadways and traffic.
