Harrison Avenue Bridge Design Chosen

Belleair Beach City Council has chosen the design and approved design costs for the new Harrison Avenue Bridge.

The selected design uses the existing seawall and adds a steel support sheet behind the wall. The seawall is part of the base of the bridge. The new bridge roadway should be a bit wider than the current one. The exact width of the roadway will be determined during the design phase.

The estimated cost of building the bridge is $290k with the project taking 3-4 months to complete. The work will likely be done in two phases starting on the south side. During construction one lane will be open for traffic on the bridge.
