40th Avenue Placido Bayou Bridge
Location: 40th Ave. NE and 12th St. N, St. Petersburg
Project Type: Roads, Bridges & Trails
The 40th Avenue Bridge was replaced due to corrosion of the reinforcing strands on the underside of the bridge. The new bridge was installed approximately five feet higher to provide more clearance for boat traffic and sea level rise and was constructed using innovative materials and construction methods to provide a longer-lasting structure. Safety, accessibility, and aesthetics were also considered in the construction of the new bridge.
