The new Belleair Beach causeway has gained national recoginition from "Roads and Bridges" magazine for using an innovative contruction technique. The magazine named the Belleair Beach Causeway Bridge replacement project as No. 5 in the top 10 bridge projects in 2009.
The 74-foot high, fixed-span bridge was the 2nd project in the U.S. to use "incremental launching" in its construction. It was 1st in the country to use concrete. The 1st project, in Ohio, used steel.
The bridge project is open to traffic and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. To view a video on incremental launching and the latest news on the bridge project, visit www.belleaircausewaybridge.com.
