Existing Bridge: The existing Alt. A1A bridge over the Loxahatchee River was constructed in 1975 and provides three lanes of traffic and a five-foot concrete sidewalk in each direction. The bridge also accommodates a navigable channel with a clear horizontal clearance of 47 feet and vertical clearance of approximately 26 feet over the Mean High Water elevation. Marine fenders on each side of the channel are provided to protect the bridge foundations from potential vessel impacts.
Work will take place during the day and be sequenced to reduce the effects of construction on the community. The bridge will remain open to vehicular and pedestrian traffic for the duration of construction. However, intermittent outside lane closures may be required for the loading and unloading of construction materials during daytime off-peak hours. Work will be performed from barges within the waterway. The channel will remain open to marine traffic for the duration of construction.
