Three projects in Pinellas County are involved: intersection lighting improvements on SR 688, SR 586 and SR 580 at various locations in Pinellas County; intersection lighting improvements on SR 688 between Hamlin Boulevard in Largo and Feather Sound Drive in St. Petersburg; and intersection lighting improvements on SR 586 between Alt 19/Bayshore in Dunedin and Tampa Road in Oldsmar.
