placed within the railroad right-of-way. Around the railroad, the roadway will be widened without adjusting the sidewalks with no additional horizontal encroachment into the railroad right-of-way.
The railroad also passes beneath US 41 bridge 130008. Bridge 130008 is located north of the US 301 10^{th} St W interchange. Bridge 130008 will be reconstructed to accommodate six travel lanes, two proposed express lanes, one northbound ramp lane, and a shared use path on both sides of the road.
According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey of Manatee County (1983), there are seventeen (17) soil types and one water classification present within the study area. The two most prevalent features in the study area are Eaugallie-Eaugallie Wet, Fine Sand, 0-2 percent slopes and Wabasso-Wabasso, Wet, Fine Sand, 0-2 percent Slopes. Nine of the 17 soil types within the study area are classified as hydric. The most prevalent features are the Waters of the Gulf of Mexico. All soils documented within the project study area and their relative acreages are in Table 2-9. The NRCS soil types map within the study area is found in the Natural Resources Evaluation (NRE) and is kept in the project file.
