Construction Update: Brooks Bridge Replacement Project
Concrete work has begun on the new westbound deck of the Brooks Bridge as part of the $171-million replacement project on Okaloosa Island.
Construction crews are placing concrete on the bridge deck, which will undergo a seven-day "wet cure" hydration process to reach maximum strength and durability.
A wet, saturated fabric is laid on top to keep it consistently moist, with water sprayed lightly over the surface.
- The project includes constructing two new, parallel bridge structures.
- The new structures will increase capacity to six travel lanes.
- The current bridge, opened in 1966, has four lanes.
The Florida Department of Transportation is overseeing the project.
