Florida's new Bryant Patton Bridge has been completed, joining St George Island with the mainland. The 6.6km post-tensioned concrete structure replaces two existing bridges and a causeway across the environmentally sensitive waters of Apalachicola Bay, famed for shellfish. Boh Brothers Construction and Jacobs Civil carried out the US$71.7 million design and build contract. Parsons Brinkerhoff Construction Services represented client Florida Department of Transportation on the project.
