Little Blue Heron Bridge Replacement Project
Project Description
This 0.21-mile Design/Build Bridge Replacement Project is located in the City of Riviera Beach. Construction began on December 14, 2009. This project includes removing the existing four-lane, low-level, fixed bridge and replacing it with a new four-lane fixed bridge in the same location and at the same elevation. This tidal relief bridge spans the Lake Worth Lagoon connecting A1A from Phil Foster Park to Singer Island. This project is being performed in conjunction with the Little Lake Worth Bridge Project.
Maintenance of Traffic: At least one lane will remain open in each direction at all times. Work will be performed from the top of the bridge to minimize impacts to the Lake Worth Lagoon. However, recreational water sports and SCUBA diving will not be permitted in the work zone.
