Primary Details
Project area is located just west of the Tampa Distribution Center located at 1212 N. 50th Street as in identified as the 43rd Street Drainage Improvements because of the nearest downstream crossing. Work involves approximately 700 feet of concrete slope stabilization of an existing ditch and all miscellaneous and appurtenant work.
The ditch alignment and sandy soils have caused heavy erosion in some embankment areas, causing continuous maintenance issues and the ditch to widen beyond its existing drainage easement limits. The rehabilitation involves embankment reconstruction and hardening to insure long-term future stability, reducing maintenance activities and reducing potential damage to adjacent parcels. The ditch bottom will remain open to allow for natural infiltration
