Concrete Work Begins on New Brooks Bridge Westbound Deck
Construction crews are now placing concrete on the bridge deck for the new westbound structure as part of the Brooks Bridge replacement project.
The $171-million project, overseen by the Florida Department of Transportation, includes constructing two new, parallel bridge structures that will increase capacity to six travel lanes.
Once the concrete is placed, it will undergo a seven-day “wet cure” hydration process to reach maximum strength and durability.
- The current bridge, which opened in 1966, has four lanes.
