FDOT is evaluating future repair or replacement of the existing, two-lane Cortez Bridge. Replacement alternatives include a 21-foot vertical clearance drawbridge, a 35-foot vertical clearance drawbridge and a high-level fixed bridge within the existing corridor. The meeting will be an open house format where people can ask questions and provide comments to FDOT representatives in a one-on-one setting. A video will explain the various alternatives. Interested people can complete a questionnaire and comment sheet at the meeting or mail it to FDOT by August 19, 2016. FDOT solicits public participation without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability or family status. People who require special accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act or who require translation services (free of charge) should contact FDOT project manager Tony Sherrard at 863-519-2304 or antone.sherrard@dot.state.fl.us at least seven days prior to the public meeting.
