BRIDGE REPLACEMENT

These improvements will provide reliable improved access to commercial agricultural/farming and aviation facilities for the residents and businesses of Immokalee. The existing timber foundation bridges have had repairs made to them over the years. They were built in 1948, 1951, or 1953 and are now in need of replacement.
