BACKGROUND:

As part of their annual bridge inspections, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) maintenance staff have identified Interstate Circle Bridge over 8 Mile Creek as functionally obsolete since 2000 and structurally deficient from 2017-2019. The bridge was rehabilitated in 2019 to prevent it from closing and to extend its life until replacement. The bridge was built in 1970 with a design life of 35 years and is now at the end of its useful life. The current posting for this bridge is 7 Tons for a single unit. As a result of the inspection, the bridge was submitted by FDOT Maintenance as a candidate for the State's Work Program (Design Fiscal Year 2021). FDOT manages the work program which provides for the design and construction of a replacement bridge with the county funding 25% of the project, and the state funding 75%. FDOT will manage the design process and construction.
