A rendering has been created to provide you with a picture of what the Lake Jesup Bridge Replacement will look like once completed. Three-dimensional (3-D) rendering is a process that can be used to visually represent a project in a real-world setting. This type of visual representation was chosen over an artist’s rendering because it uses computer-aided design files (engineering files) to construct a visual representation. Although more accurate than an artist’s rendering, 3-D renderings are not meant to replace technical engineering plans, and are used here to show you what the completed bridge might look like.

Before

The existing bridge is about 500-feet in length. As part of the Design-Build project, the existing causeway and bridge will be removed, and wetland restoration and enhancement efforts will begin. The proposed structure will have a closed drainage system which will collect the water from the bridge and carry it to stormwater ponds for water quality treatment.

The new bridge will be approximately 3700-feet long, or about ¾ of a mile. As such, the full-length of the bridge is not shown in this rendering. Instead, the section of the bridge which is expected to change most was selected for this rendering. This view depicts the most detailed section of the bridge. Structures that are to be removed as part of this project have also been removed from this rendering to give you sense of the completed project.
