Fannie Road Bridge Replacement To Cost Town Of Century’s Utilities

March 7, 2014

The Florida Department off Transportation’s $1.8 million project to replace a bridge on Fannie Road over Dead Lake will create indirect costs over $40,000 for  the Town of Century.

According to Mayor Freddie McCall, rerouting  the town’s water and gas lines, currently supported by the old bridge,will cost the town about $35,000 plus about $9,000 in engineering fees, permits and inspections.

Rather than attaching the water and gas lines to the new bridge, the town will bore under the waterway.

The money, McCall said, will come from $50,000 that was budgeted for a new sewage lift station that is not currently needed.

Fannie Road will close next week for the bridge replacement, which is expected to be complete by the Fall of 2015. [Read more...]
