Pinellas Trail Bridges In Palm Harbor To Receive New Fencing

PALM HARBOR, FL -- Pinellas County will be performing maintenance work at night in the coming weeks on the Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail bridges over Alternate U.S. 19 and Orange Street in Palm Harbor.

The work will begin June 10 and take around six weeks, but the trail will remain open as usual during daylight hours.

The county recently replaced both bridges at the busy location near the corner of Curlew Road and Alternate U.S. 19. The additional maintenance work involves replacing the rusted fencing and some posts. When the work is completed, the bridges will be more visually appealing.

The Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail extends from downtown St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs as a unique connector to Pinellas communities. It has won numerous awards, including induction into the National Rails to Trails Hall of Fame. Eventually, it will be part of the Pinellas Trail Loop, a 75-mile regional trail network that will circle the county and provide regional connections to Hillsborough and Pasco County trail networks and link to the Florida Coast-to-Coast Connector Trail.
