WELCOME to Road and Bridge Department

The mission of the Road and Bridge Department is to maintain a safe, quality transportation infrastructure for the citizens who live, work and travel through Pasco County.  At the present time, this includes the maintenance of 1,593 miles of paved roads ranging from local residential to urban arterial and 189 miles of unpaved roads.  Along with the above tasks, 44 bridges, over 61,000 traffic control and informational signs, thermoplastic roadway striping, and rights-of-way mowing are under this department’s jurisdiction.  The rights-of-way enhancement program adds and maintains a variety of trees, bushes, shrubs and other ground cover to selected medians on arterial and collector roadways.

Road and Bridge will continue to act as a support service for paving assessment and program maintenance and will assist with the construction and reconstruction of roads.  The department provides in-house services for Utilities Services, Parks and Recreation, Emergency Services, Emergency Management, Engineering Services and Solid Waste/Resource Recovery.

The infrastructure management (road inventory) program will continue to document and compile detailed information on all roadways, bridges, railroad crossings, traffic control devices and other inventories.  This compilation of data is designed to document the County’s infrastructure and produce detailed reports for use as a management tool.  Much of this information is available by accessing the County’s mainframe and network computer programs.
