Ut-oh! Pinellas County drivers, brace yourselves. CSX transportation officials will be conducting another railroad crossing upgrade along a busy stretch of Bryan Dairy Road… and you know what that means… closures.
In fact, beginning Friday, June 29th, Bryan Dairy Road will be shut down at the railroad crossing just west of Belcher Road for a maximum 21 day period. Crews will work around the clock replacing the rail bed to ensure this intersection is safe for commuters.
Projects officials recommend Belcher, Starkey and Ulmerton Roads for alternate routes. Variable message signs will help warn drivers of the closure and detours.
And just like the Mcmullen Booth upgrade earlier this month, officials planned this project after the school year and tourist season to try and reduce the resulting traffic jams. As you’ll recall, that project wrapped up more than a week early, and officials hope to once again complete work on Bryan Dairy Road before or at least on-time.
For more information on the Bryan Dairy Road upgrade, call Pinellas County’s Roadwork Hotline at (727) 453 – 3320 or visit http://www.pinellascounty.org/roadwork.htm.

Here we go again, just when one project finishes up, another begins. And the summer is supposed to be a break in school traffic but then we have to deal with all of these road crews. When do we get a break?
P.s. I liked the story on the smart traffic lights… they need those everywhere.

I, for one, will hate the closure of Brian Dairy, as it is my main route to work and home from work, but the RR tracks do need some much needed repairs. With all the rain that is supposed to be coming our way the next week or so, getting this project done on time should be quite interesting. Seeing this done now instead of during the school year, is a good move for the county. Thanks for the early report on this Alicia. I never miss your report each morning of the work week.
