FDOT identifies possible corridor
The Florida Department of Transportation has identified a location for a potential transportation corridor in west and central Florida that could be used for a new superhighway, a rail line, or both, a report in the Tampa Tribune says.
The 150-mile corridor would start in Port Charlotte in Charlotte County and run through Sarasota, Desoto, Hardee, Manatee, Polk, Hillsborough, Pasco and Hernando counties.
The corridor was identified as part of a 'New Corridors Study' that is in its early stages and will not be completed for several years. The purpose of the study is to begin planning to identify long-range transportation needs.
