The Laurel Road Widening Project is progressing with several critical path items being completed:
The project, which includes a four-way intersection at Veneto and Laurel, has been fully completed and has received final approval from Sarasota County and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).
The County is moving forward with the purchase of the remaining Right of Way (ROW) and if needed will initiate eminent domain proceedings on any outstanding land parcels.
The County has submitted Requests for Proposals (RFPs) from subcontractors but cannot award bids until the ROW is completed.
Construction on the road is still scheduled to commence in late 2025, but the final timing is contingent upon the completion of the ROW.
