Emergency repairs to the bridge over Sandy Hollow Creek in Davisville are now complete, and Sandy Hollow Road has been reopened.

The bridge on Sandy Hollow Road was closed April 7 after Volkert, Inc., the Florida Department of Transportation’s bridge inspection contractor, found advanced deterioration of timber pilings.

To expedite the repair work and minimize the impact to residents in the area, the county issued an emergency purchase order to DKE Marine Service, Inc. for $88,830.

The repairs included the replacement of eight pilings, the backwall and headwall of the bridge and new guardrails on both sides of the bridge.
