WEST WINTERBERRY BRIDGE CLOSED MAY 11, 2023 (May 2, 2023) The West Winterberry Bridge will be closed to vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians due to repairs being done on the bridge beginning at 7:00am on Thursday May 11th. In February 2023 the City Council authorized Manhattan Road and Bridge Company to remove, replace, and adjust the post-tensioning tendons on the bridge. The first replacement was done in March and this repair will include replacing a second corroded post-tensioning transverse tendon. The tendons hold the bridge support slabs together. The bridge is expected to be closed from 7:00am – 6:00pm on May 11th. Residents should use San Marco Road as an alternate route. A traffic plan showing the detours is attached to this release. The City will post signs to redirect traffic. Please anticipate delays in the area and plan for alternative routes. Boat traffic under the bridge will be limited to one span. Boaters should use caution and proceed at idle speed since only one direction of boat traffic will be able to cross under the bridge at a time. A full replacement of West Winterberry Bridge is still planned for later this year. The date is dependent on the issuance of a permit from Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), FDOT grant execution, public bidding, awarding the contract, and availability of materials. ###
