November 2008 Project Update

Construction on the bridge continues to move forward, and the pile foundation supports for the bridge continue to be constructed this month. In addition, the design-build team continues to place support beams and materials are being placed that are needed for construction along the approach of the new bridge.

Currently, a temporary construction bridge is being built adjacent to the existing SR 46 Lake Jesup Bridge to provide construction access along the channel and to minimize environmental impacts. For safety reasons, there will be short time periods when the channel will be closed to marine traffic. The channel will remain open during weekends.

Figure A below shows the construction of the new bridge deck. Figure B shows the construction of the temporary construction bridge.
