Two additional bridge contractors and four salvage companies, mobilized by FDOT, are focusing their efforts on the outermost spans of the bridge to facilitate construction and minimize impacts to the existing structure.
To date, more than 300 additional workers have been brought in to increase resources needed for demolition and reconstruction, salvage and pile operations, and concrete fabrication.
The goal is to repair and reopen the bridge to four lanes of traffic by March 2021.
