December 2008 Project Update
Construction on the bridge continues to move forward. Pile foundation supports for the bridge continue to be constructed and the concrete bridge decks for the final bridge surface are being placed. In addition, the design-build team continues to place support beams.
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. A yellow safety barrier and lights are in place to assist marine traffic when navigating through the construction area.
Figure A below shows the temporary construction bridge. Figure B shows the construction of the new bridge.
