Wabasso Bridge Safety Railing Public Information Events
On February 22, in the evening, the Florida Department of Transportation will host public information events regarding the upcoming installation of a safety railing on the high Wabasso bridge on Route 510. These will be offered in-person and through virtual means.
The virtual option is scheduled for Wednesday, February 22 starting at 5 p.m. with a repeat at 5:30 p.m. If you're interested in attending, please register online. Participants may also join the meeting by dialing: (213) 929-4212 with access code: 170-068-370. A brief presentation followed by questions and comments will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and again from 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Questions and comments may be submitted via the online chat or with the raise hand feature.
The in-person option is scheduled on the same day but starting at 6:00 p.m. Come to the Environmental Learning Center's Lagoon Room, located at 255 Live Oak Drive, Vero Beach, FL 32963 to attend. This meeting will have an informal open house format with project representatives available to answer questions and provide information on the project's scope and schedule, associated lane closures, and more. No formal presentation will be made.
The SR 510/Wabasso Beach Road Bridge Railing Safety Improvements Project's installation phase will begin at the very end of March 2023. The fabrication of the railing is presently underway and is to be finalized by the third week of March. The project is expected to be finished by the fall. Single-lane closures are permitted nightly Sunday through Thursday, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. To minimize impact to the public, lane closures are not permitted on Fridays, Saturdays, holidays, or special event dates. Access will be maintained at all times. Lane closures can be tracked online.
This page was updated on 2/17/2023 regarding the date the installation phase will begin and when fabrication will be finalized, based on new information received by the Florida Department of Information on that date. These timeframes were delayed by one month.
