PROJECT UPDATE | Center Hill Bridge Replacement
Work continues to move forward on the Center Hill Bridge Replacement Project, which is now 86.6% complete.
The latest drone photos provide a clear look at the progress on site as the project moves into the final stages of construction.
Recent Construction Milestones
• Payne Creek has been restored to its natural flow
• All aluminum culverts are in place
• Both concrete headwalls have been completed
• Protective fabric has been secured around the 14-foot culverts
• Tie-back rods and conduits have been installed
• Crews are currently placing final backfill on the bridge structure
What’s Next
Roadway work has begun, with paving tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, August 18, weather permitting.
The bridge will remain closed after paving while final work and safety checks are completed. Once the project reaches full completion, the Center Hill Bridge is expected to reopen to traffic after being closed for approximately eight years.
We appreciate the community’s continued patience as this project moves closer to completion and work continues to provide a safer, more resilient crossing for Hardee County.
