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 Procurement and Grants completed the construction bid package and plan to submit for FDOT review by late October 2023. The CEI solicitation documents are approved by FDOT and advertising for professional services is planned in late November 2023 upon approval by FDOT and execution of LAP
