The new Sunset Beach
Bridge will open completed before the full project is completed.
The bridge walk will be held on Monday, November 1, from 1 to 4 PM,
beginning on the mainland side. The bridge is expected to open several
days later. After the bridge opens, the detour, the work bridge
and the old bridge will be removed. Causeway changes will be made. Over
500 feet of additional marsh has been established through removal of
portions of the original causeway. Infiltration basins on the island
and mainland ends will capture run-off from the bridge to prevent chemicals
from polluting the water. The pontoon bridge will not be removed until
work has been completed.
