MEXICO BEACH — The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is hosting a public information meeting July 9 concerning the replacement of the 36th Street Bayou Bridge in Mexico Beach.
The meeting will be held from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. (CDT) at the Mexico Beach Civic Center, 105 N. 31st St in Mexico Beach. The intent of the project is to replace the low level bridge with a new structure. The bridge will be closed during construction, but traffic will be maintained along a detour route, according to an FDOT news release. Construction is anticipated to begin in winter 2017.
The meeting will be conducted in an open-house format with no formal presentation scheduled. FDOT representatives will be available to explain the proposed improvements, answer questions and receive comments.
