Richardson Road over South Prong St. Marys River Replacement
Overview

The Florida Department of Transportation is conducting a Project Development and Environmental Study (PD&E), to replace the Richardson Road Bridge (No. 274114) over a tributary of the St. Marys River. The existing Richardson Road bridge over South Prong St. Marys River is a single-lane, seven-span structure. The bridge is 87.5-ft long, 12-ft wide, and composed of concrete slabs supported by timber columns. Constructed in 1960, the bridge connects two unpaved segments of Richardson Road.

This PD&E study proposes to replace the existing bridge with a single-lane, cast-in-place concrete slab bridge supported by concrete columns. The proposed bridge will be built wide enough to be used as a two-lane bridge after the future widening of Richardson Road into a two-lane road.
