Pinellas Trail Loop North Segment Design-Build (D/B)

The $8 million Pinellas Trail Loop is a vital link throughout Pinellas County and the surrounding roadway network as part of the emerging Southwest Coast Regional Trail. This 75-mile loop will ultimately provide regional connectivity as the longest continuous trail in Florida for a cross-state connection to the planned Coast to Coast Trail. The ultimate vision for the trail network is one which provides multi-modal accommodations for pedestrians/bicyclists creating the foundation for non-motorized travel throughout Pinellas County while interconnecting other networks. Currently, the 75-mile planned loop requires approximately 21.35 miles of trail construction for loop completion. The North Segment project focused on constructing the northernmost gap within the Pinellas Trail Loop beginning south of Enterprise Road and connecting to the Duke Energy Trail. This segment of trail runs approximately 6.5 miles to the north utilizing a large portion of the Duke Energy easement and terminates north above the Lake Tarpon Outfall connecting the southernmost trailhead at John Chestnut Park. KCA provided roadway and structures design, drainage, traffic/signing and pavement markings (S&PM)/signalization, and environmental/permitting services for this project.
