Tamiami Canal Historic Swing Bridge PD&EFlorida Department of TransportationImprovements to the historic swing bridge, which was structurally deficient and functionally obsolete, required extensive coordination with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the United States Coast Guard and the FHWA. EAC’s Project Development and Environment Study considered numerous alternatives with a focus on preserving the bridge’s historic significance and designation while also providing an improved transportation facility. EAC’s robust public involvement program facilitated a well-received Locally Preferred Alternative, a new single-leaf bascule bridge with a four-lane, undivided roadway alignment that satisfied the needs of the project. The existing bridge was relocated to a tributary of the Miami River where it will connect two parks on either side of the river. The relocation was done in a manner that allowed the bridge to retain its historic designation.

NW 12th Avenue Bascule Bridge PD&EFlorida Department of TransportationThe Project Development and Environment Study for the replacement of the functionally deficient NW 12th Avenue Bridge determined the bridge and some surrounding facilities were eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
