What impacts will there be to the existing parks and recreation facilities in the area?
The area surrounding the A. Max Brewer Bridge project is rich with parks and natural ecotourism sites. The FDOT is working to minimize impacts to recreational areas. However, areas under the south side of the bridge frequented by fishing enthusiasts and others must be temporarily removed in June 2009 to allow construction to proceed. Work also has required permanently removing the parking and pavilions on the southeast side of the bridge. Parking, pavilions and boat ramps on the northwest and northeast sides of the bridge will remain in tact.
