What has taken decades of planning and discussion is finally about to begin. The Florida Department of transportation started releasing bidding for the new bridge to join Stuart and Palm City by 36’th Street in Palm City and Indian Street in Stuart. This long awaited project has been approved using $128 million of Federal stimulus monies and $72 million that has been raised previously through federal, state and county collections.
This bridge will alleviate congestion on the one existing Palm City Bridge that is the main route between Stuart and Palm City. In addition to making access easier between Stuart and Palm City, this project is estimated to employ 3500 workers and have a tremendous trickle down benefit for the local economy and employment levels.
While it took a very long time to be approved, many residents feel it couldn’t have come at a better time.
