06/14/26 UPDATE MEMO from FDOT: 

Sarasota Bay Drawbridge No. 170061 (North Bridge) on County Road 758/Siesta Drive: Construction project: The Florida Department of Transportation has begun normal bridge rehabilitation work to minimize the effects of the aggressive marine environment. This bridge project consists of concrete maintenance, rehabilitation of existing mechanical and electrical systems, and structural steel work and steel coating replacement.


OVERNIGHT LANE CLOSURES: are expected from June 14 – July 24, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. as crews work on the concrete bridge deck and apply epoxy overlay protection. Crews will work on one lane at a time, alternating sides. (Dates and times can change depending on weather or work schedules.)


HOLIDAY TRAFFIC: No lane closures are scheduled during holidays, and there will be no lane closures during Fourth of July holiday, Friday, July 3 – Sunday, July 5.


MARINE TRAFFIC: Bridge openings during June 22 - July 24 will be reduced to four (4) per night to accommodate the curing period needed for cement. Also, a four-hour notice is required for evening bridge openings.


PROJECT OVERVIEW:

  • Crews are currently not scheduled to work on weekends.

  • Motorists may wish to use the South/ Stickney Point Bridge or allow for additional travel time.

  • Flaggers, barrels and warning signs will be present to help guide motorists through the construction zone.  

  • Pedestrians and bicyclists will be escorted through the work zone.

  • Local residents closest to the bridge should anticipate noise and lights from construction equipment.

  • Work will continue underneath the bridge span, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

  • Pedestrian and bicyclists will continue to have access.
