FDOT 79th STREET BRIDGE REHABILI'~ATION PROJECT
Commissioner Bower has received correspondence from residents concerned that the 79th
Street Bridge Rehabilitation project would not be completed before the start of the 63rd
Street Bridge Rehabilitation / Flyover Demolition / Indian Creek Improvement project;
therefore causing major traffic impact to Miami Beach residents. The latest information
from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) indicates that the regular contract
completion time for the 79th Street Bridge Rehabilitation project is January 2006; however,
the contractor has incentives for early completion by mid November 2005. The 63rd Street
Bridge Rehabilitation project has a mandatory start date of April 17, 2006.
Based on the above information, the 79th Street corridor should be fully operational when
the 63rd Street project starts.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any other concerns or questions.
