This is a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Railroad Certification Memo dated December 19, 2025, related to the Ridgemoor Boulevard and Brooker Creek Bridge Replacement Project (PID 005749A) administered by Pinellas County. The memo documents FDOT's certification regarding railroad coordination requirements for the bridge replacement project, which involves replacing a 120-foot flat slab bridge with a 135-foot structure over Brooker Creek along with associated roadway and drainage improvements. The certification confirms that appropriate railroad notifications and coordination procedures have been completed as required for this federally funded Local Agency Program (LAP) project under FDOT's oversight.

The memo serves as official documentation of compliance with railroad notification protocols and clearances necessary to proceed with the bridge construction. As a certification document, it indicates that all railroad-related requirements have been satisfied prior to project implementation, ensuring that the design and construction plans have been reviewed and approved from a railroad coordination perspective. This certification is a critical administrative prerequisite for federally funded transportation projects that may impact or interact with railroad facilities or operations.
