Lake Worth Bridge to undergo repairs

Comment Up

This is just a reminder as I have posted it before. Have had no problems crossing the Lake Worth bridge over the last few days but perhaps this is the day work began?

The City of Lake Worth would like to notify the residents, businesses and visitors of the City that the Lake Worth Bridge (FDOT SR 802 Bridge) as owned and maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation will be undergoing minor repairs and painting.

The work is scheduled to begin on Monday October 27, 2014 and last approximately 180 calendar days (6 months). The bridge will remain open to vehicular, pedestrian and vessel traffic as work progresses. FDOT will be shutting down one bridge span at a time therefore two way traffic will be relocated onto one bridge span making only one lane in each direction. Once the first bridge span is completed, the traffic control route will switch to the other bridge span.

If there are any questions or concerns regarding this project, please contact FDOT's District 4 office at 1-866-336-8435.

For more information on this please feel free to call the Public Service Administration Office at 561-586-1720.

  1. Can anyone think of a reason that this work is being done in the high season rather than in the exact opposite 6 months, when the inconvenience of having half of the bridge closed would be lessened by the lower traffic count?

  2. Maybe b/c of the Flagler Bridge? Meaning DOT didn't want to restrict/reduce bridge traffic at the same time the Flagler bridge was closed.
