Good Morning.
This email is being sent to update you on the status of the project to rehabilitate the West Venetian Bascule Bridge. Miami-Dade County’s Public Works and Waste Management Department has initiated the procurement process for the design services necessary to rehabilitate the West Venetian Bascule Bridge. The work will include the demolition, disposal and reconstruction of the westernmost 730 feet of the bridge and roadway approach.
Delays in the procurement process of the design build contract have caused a revision to our original estimate for the closure of the bridge. A full closure of the West Venetian Bascule Bridge will be required upon commencement of the demolition activities and is now anticipated to proceed in the Spring of 2015. The rehabilitation is expected to last nine months.
We apologize for any inconvenience this delay in the commencement of the project may have caused.
Should you have questions about the project, please contact my office at 305-514-6653.
Best,
Gayle R. Love
