Beach Road Roundabout

The intersection of Midnight Pass Road (SR758) at Beach Road (CR 789) on Siesta Key is programmed for improvements. A public input survey in 2020 concluded that a modern roundabout at this intersection will offer improved safety and move the traffic more efficiently compared to an improved signalized intersection. A single lane roundabout with an added bypass lane in the eastbound direction is proposed to replace the existing signalized intersection. A public right-of-way for these roads has been transferred by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to Sarasota County. The project will include the street lighting and landscaping at the roundabout. Project Progress/Status The preliminary design for the roundabout is complete. The detailed design is expected to begin in January 2022 with anticipated completion of design by end of 2022. The construction is expected to begin in Spring of 2023 and anticipated completion is Spring 2024. Sarasota County
