BIG REDFISH LAKE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE​

The construction of Big Redfish Lake Pedestrian Bridge is an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act project consisting of a pedestrian bridge over Big Redfish Lake within CR-30A right-of-way. The center of the crossing includes two weathered steel pedestrian bridges that are 8 feet wide. The approaches to the steel span will require construction of timber boardwalks that are also 8 feet wide. Additional components include concrete flumes for drainage and riprap.

Floridian Construction has been awarded the contract. Work is currently scheduled to commence by no later than January 25, 2010. The existing multi-use path will be closed during construction. Expect intermittent lane closures of CR 30A.

I was wondering what I was missing - sounded like a LOT of pedestrian traffic there!

It's the multi-use path (bike path) that will utilize this new bridge. It will keep cyclists, runners, roller bladers, etc off the road and be much safer.
