North bridge to close May 12 to Nov. 1 | www.palmbeachdailynews.com

Plans call for the north bridge to be closed over the summer. It turns out to be a complicated scenario as they are working to avoid further damage to the old bridge so that it can be used as the interim bridge. If not, then a temporary bridge will need to be built while the new one is underway. Such was the story for the Royal Palm (middle) bridge. Over $9 million was spent last fall in an attempt to repair the old bridge after damage from vibration. The Town is concerned about the short and long impact on traffic and has pulled back on some other public works projects in the north end. Click title for link.

Coniglio said residents have called her saying they’ve seen no work done on the new bridge.

“I’m hopeful that when we drive up and down Flagler, and up and down Cocoanut Row, that there will be so many people that I will hardly see the roadway,” Coniglio said. The project has generated significant anxiety and difficult conditions in the community, she said.

“We are going to partner with you shoulder to shoulder, but at the end of the day, the expectation is that you will deliver,” Coniglio said.

“We will do it,” Hamrick said.
