449792-1 S.R. 40 Movable Bridge Rehabilitation

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is making improvements to the State Road (S.R.) 40 movable bridge that crosses the St. Johns River in Astor.

Planned work includes installing a new emergency backup generator and upgrading machinery, including span locks and brakes. A span lock is a mechanical system that typically holds a movable bridge span in place when fully closed. The project also includes a new control system designed to enhance the bridge’s efficiency and overall operations.
