Bratt Road Bridge Reopens After Nearly Two Years And $2.7 Million
September 29, 2019
The Bratt Road Bridge over Canoe Creek has officially reopened, ended a state-funded replacement project that was a long time coming.
An emergency closure was ordered for the bridge on December 6, 2017, after its deteriorated wooden supports failed an inspection. Work on a $2.7 million Florida Department of Transportation project to replace the 1950s era bridge did not begin for almost a year, commencing in November 2018.
The new single-span concrete bridge includes extensive drainage improvements and paved approaches.
The bridge averaged 425 vehicles per day prior to closure.

And the next move by DOT? Notice how they’ve “fixed” 168 and now Bratt Road.
Next DOT will condemn the twin bridges on hwy 4; detour options are now open.
wonder what it would have cost if they would have put the temporary bridge up, and tore it down after they built the new one like they said they where
The way folks fly up and down that road. I wish that bridge would have stayed closed.
