SR 44 over St John’s River Bridge Replacement
FDOT project T5706 is a $44 million bridge replacement of the existing Francis P Whitehead bascule bridge on SR 44 over the St Johns River. This project is located on the border of Lake County and Volusia County in FDOT District 5. The new bridge is a 2-lane mid-rise bridge with a 12’ shared use path. The bridge consists of 10 spans totaling 1,656 LF long.
To facilitate the construction of the bridge within the limits of the river, a temporary work trestle designed by GBE was constructed. The main leg of the trestle is 7 spans and stick out 245 LF into the river. There is also one finger coming off the main leg that is 2 spans and approximately 70 LF long. Each pier of this trestle is constructed using 24” pipe pile that averaged about 120 feet long. This temporary work bridge is designed to carry the weight of a fully loaded crane which minimizes the need for barges.
