Construction to repair a BeachLine Expressway overpass damaged by a deadly tanker fire will cause headaches for motorists traveling between the Space Coast and downtown Orlando for nearly a month, officials said.
The Florida Department of Transportation awarded a construction contract todayto repair the bridge at North Courtenay Parkway in Merritt Island in 25 days.
FDOT spokesman Steve Olson said that Lane Construction beat two other bidders to win a $2.19 million contract for replacing both spans of an overpass along the BeachLine. The company pledged to have the thoroughfare ready for traffic in less than a month.
Construction began today on the charred roadway, where two drivers were killed Friday afternoon in an explosive crash involving a gas tanker and a pickup. Crews working on the round-the-clock project have to demolish and rebuild two support beams that were damaged, said FDOT engineer Frank O'Dea.
