There are no TSM&O features within the project limits.
The corridor crosses the Manatee River, a navigable waterway, via the DeSoto Bridge (130053). In addition to the DeSoto Bridge (#130053), three other bridges are located within the project's study area. Bridge #130083 is located where US 301 is carried over US 41 NB, and Bridge #130002 is located where US 41 is carried over US 301 as part of the US 41 and US 301 interchange. Bridge #130008 is located where US 41 is carried over the CSX Railroad track, also known as the Florida Power & Light Company's short-line track.
The four bridges within the project limits are summarized in Table 2-11.

Bridge #130083 was constructed in 1986 and carries US 301 over US 41/S Tamiami Trail. It is a single-span (94 ft) prestressed concrete AASHTO beam bridge comprised of two 12-ft travel lanes in each direction, 10-ft outside shoulders, 8-ft inside shoulders, and a median concrete barrier. The structure has wrap around MSE wall approaches on pile supported end bents. The structure is 89-ft wide, 84.5-ft long and the typical section is shown in Figure 2-8.
