The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, will begin improvements to State Road (S.R.) 776 in Sarasota County in early 2026. The project is intended to improve safety by implementing improved access control, enhancing traffic flow, and reducing crashes. The project consists of constructing (1) a continuous raised median with directional turn lanes to replace the existing center two-way left-turn lane from West Green St. to Tangerine Woods Boulevard and (2) protected bike lanes and interrupter islands from the Charlotte County Line to West Green St. Additional improvements include the installation of new signage and pavement markings to accommodate the median modifications.

Project # 451014-1 will address resurfacing, restoration and rehabilitation.

If you have questions regarding this project or would like to schedule a meeting, please contact the FDOT Community Outreach Manager Nancy Morgan (941) 720-6335.

Public meetings during the design phase were held in March of  2023. The project has now moved into the construction phase, however the public can access the meeting documents on this page under "project documents." This is part of a two-section project and goes together with 451014-1.
