TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Weather permitting, the southbound span of the Roosevelt Bridge is scheduled to reopen to two lanes of traffic ahead of schedule on November 5 at 6 a.m. The contractor will be working throughout today and tonight, making final preparations for the southbound bridge to reopen. This work includes restriping the bridges for two lanes of traffic and minor resurfacing. Upon reopening, both the northbound and southbound bridges will be limited to two lanes of traffic. This configuration will allow for the completion of median modifications and the proactive step of also sealing the deck of the northbound bridge. In addition, truck restrictions in place on the US-1 corridor will be removed and the 5-ton gross vehicle weight restriction will be lifted, allowing multiple axle vehicles and trucks of all legal weights to traverse the bridges. Detours will be removed and regular tolls on the Florida Turnpike will be restored between MP 133 (Monterey Rd) and MP 142 (Port St. Lucie Blvd.). The estimated date to restore the bridge to six lanes of traffic is January.
