Project Description
The Parnell Avenue Bridge over the St. Joe River was originally built in 1927, widened in 1970 and widened again in 1993. The scope of the project consists of replacing the bridge deck, repairing spandrel arches and substructure, upgrading sidewalks and approaches. The project will also incorporate scour protection which mitigates erosion, enhances structural stability and prolongs the lifespan of the bridge.
