Smiling JOeSoWal Expert31,643 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal ExpertWell, the bid posting makes it difficult to understand exactly what will be built. It mentions
timber bridge, but also mentions prefabricated steel bridges. So, those sound different, but I guess it will be steel spans, with wooden rails or something.
The reason for the long-span bridges is to make as little impact on the coastal dune lakes as possible. At that Lake, 30A cuts the lake almost completely separating the north side from the south side with great impact. I'm glad to see the County trying to help preserve the lakes by having these lower impact improvements.

Matt JSWGB24,862 postsJoined View profileMessageSWGBIf it's anything like the Eastern Lake bridge it'll have timber ends on the banks of the lake and then they'll just lower the steel part in between.
