It had to happen sometime.
A major rehabilitation project by Miami-Dade County’s Department of Transportation and Public Works on the West Bridges and William Powell Bridge along the Rickenbacker Causeway is expected to last 36 months, starting later this spring.
Repairing structural deficiencies, both at and below the driving surface, will ensure the long-term safety of the bridges.
