Stan Gober Memorial Bridge Rehabilitation Project Starting Soon

The Stan Gober Memorial Bridge Rehabilitation Project plans to start mobilizing this week for major repairs that are expected to be completed next spring. The bridge is located on SR 92, also known as San Marco Road. The project’s repairs consist of structural repairs to the bridge deck, columns, foundation, and other areas. There will also be environmental improvements in several locations to address and mitigate scour issues. Drivers are advised that intermittent lane closures will be needed, so expect delays and take an alternate route if you do not have a destination in the vicinity.

Mobilization includes utilizing the area at the west end of the bridge to stage materials and equipment. This area will be closed to the public during construction. (See diagram at the end of this release.)

Installation of work zone signage is planned to be the first step, followed by lane closures to remove pavement markings, installation of a concrete barrier wall closing the west-bound lane to traffic, and implementing a one-lane road with traffic signals at both ends of the bridge, allowing traffic in one direction at a time.

Next steps include bridge deck repairs, which will require some intermittent overnight as well as some daytime lane closures. To assist the traveling public, the county’s contractor will monitor and make adjustments to signal timing throughout the course of the project in an effort to mitigate delays. All work on the bridge deck requiring lane closures is anticipated to be completed by this summer. Drivers are reminded to use caution when approaching and travelling on the bridge.  

Work under the bridge will occur simultaneously with the work on the bridge.  Small boats and barges with equipment will be needed. This work consists of cathodic protection installation to prevent further corrosion, crack and delamination repairs, fender system repairs, installation of bank and shore rip rap to address and mitigate further scour issues, as well as other miscellaneous repairs and enhancements. Boaters are reminded to use caution in the bridge area and watch for construction equipment and personnel.
