Progress On Bridge and Trail in Palm Harbor, FL near Tampa Rd Sunday August 18, 2024

Progress is moving pretty fast around there. Last night Tuesday Aug 20, 2024, the three pilings were put in the water there. The concrete had been laid in between where we see the boards in the video. Sine I ride by this almost three times a week, I think I will just make a video once a week to show the progress if there is a lot done. If nothing has been done, then I won't. I do think all of the concrete near the apartments and in front of it all the way the next part of Pinellas trail will be done by the end of September. The progress is looking like it's moving that fast. I am thinking towards the existing trail, they may have some issues with whatever they are doing there now with the stuff they are putting under where the trail is going to go. The sod should be done in a day or two sometime after the cement is put down and everything checks out OK. I do think the engineer was checking out my video suggestions where the trail could go before they even flew in from Ohio. Running the trail along the wall like that was something that I mentioned but, I did also mention that they would have to cut down some trees there too...which they did. They could have still given us a temporary safe detour by putting a wall up on the offramp like they did on the onramp across Tampa Rd that was South of this location when they put the cement trail in on the South side there.

I think the residents in the apartments are upset about hearing the pile drivers work on the bridge during the day.

For sure! Not only the pounding noise that probably rocking some of the building there but, the beeping noise from the trucks too. The dumb beeping noise when they had the vehicles in reverse at 5 am near Countryside Blvd when they were building the trail there near Meadowood Dr was driving me nuts. They sure took their time there building that part of the trail. The people that were putting a vehicle in reverse, didn't even know how to move the vehicle. I was upset. I can imagine the beeping would drive the residents nuts there too.
