Description
Description | Plans to replace the existing 98-year-old historic swing bridge with a new bridge that meets current standards and provides a safer route for hurricane evacuations. The replacement will include a single or two-lane roadway with facilities for pedestrians and cyclists and an expected increase in bridge height to reduce the number of bridge openings. Replacement options consider two types of movable spans: swing span bridge and bascule span bridge. The study is conducted by the Florida Department of Transportation and will evaluate environmental and community impacts, costs, and potential economic benefits. |
