November 2009 Project Update

Travelers have been enjoying the new SR 46 Bridge over Lake Jesup since August 1, 2009. The old bridge and causeway is no longer accessible to the public and removal is approaching completion. Construction will continue for several more months to complete the remaining new construction adjacent to the new bridge and to complete the removal of the old causeway for wetland restoration.

Construction activities adjacent to the new bridge and waterway will continue. For safety reasons, there will be short periods of time when the channel will be closed to marine traffic. The channel will remain open on the weekends.

Motorists should remain alert for lane shifts or closures and should use extreme caution when driving through construction areas. Motorists are also advised to be on the lookout for construction equipment entering and leaving the highway.

We are also pleased to announce that the new Lake Jesup Bridge was recently featured in Road and Bridges Magazine’s Top Bridges of 2009. A listing of the award for Lake Jesup Bridge may be found here.
