Work on Beachview Bridge paused to move water, sewer lines
SUMMARY: Much-needed repairs to the Beach View Drive bridge in Gulf Park Estates are delayed until water and sewer lines are moved. The bridge is currently suitable for cars and SUVs but not for large school buses and trucks. County road crews are ready to reinforce the bridge, but a private utility company must first relocate the attached water and sewer mains. Jackson County Supervisor Randy Bosar noted challenges due to the utility's recent change in ownership. The bridge will eventually be rebuilt as part of a widening plan for Gulf View Drive, with the first phase beginning soon. The construction contract may be awarded at Monday's board meeting.
