MYAKKA ROAD CLOSURE UPDATE
Manatee County has provided a plan, signed and sealed by a Manatee County, Florida Government professional engineer licensed in Florida, to reopen one lane of Myakka Road with steel plates over the culverts of concern. Traffic flow through the one-lane section will be controlled by temporary signals. Sarasota County Public Works has taken no exception to Manatee County’s plan and is coordinating to remove county road closure signage. Manatee County intends to reopen the road within the next 1-2 hours. Sarasota County will continue working on efforts with Manatee County to develop a permanent resolution to the deteriorated culverts under Myakka Road.
