Project Description
Charlotte County has retained Kimley-Horn and Associates to design the replacement of the Washington Loop Bridge over Prairie Creek. Originally constructed in 1961, the existing bridge has experienced overtopping during storm events, leading to periodic closures. The new bridge design will address these issues by raising the structure to accommodate increased water volume and flow velocity during flooding events.Project Location

Project Activities – June 2025
Project activities for June will commence with a Kick-Off Meeting to review the overall project scope and establish the project schedule. Surveying teams will be mobilized to the site to perform staking and prepare for geotechnical investigations, including identifying boring locations. Additionally, environmental personnel will conduct site assessments to evaluate potential environmental impacts.
