CARD SOUND ROAD BRIDGE PROJECT UPDATES: MOSQUITO CREEK BRIDGE STARTS, TUBBY’S CREEK BRIDGE CONTINUES

MONROE COUNTY, FL – Construction crews will be on-site at two Card Sound Road bridges to continue work on Tubby’s Creek Bridge and start the preliminary work of clearing vegetation from roadway shoulders and widening the pavement at Mosquito Creek Bridge. The Mosquito Creek Bridge construction project will begin on March 12. The small bridges are about 3,500 feet apart.

The contractor will close the westbound lane to traffic and set up temporary traffic signals to alternate bi-directional traffic to one lane on both bridges. (This is currently happening on Tubby’s Creek Bridge already and will start happening on Mosquito Creek Bridge on March 12.) The bridges will remain one lane with alternating traffic throughout the project. Traffic signal timing will be adjusted in the morning and afternoon to accommodate additional traffic to and from the Ocean Reef community.

Updates will be provided throughout the project's construction phases. This project has an estimated construction duration of approximately 18 months, weather-dependent.
