A. Max Brewer Bridge Replacement

A. MAX BREWER BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, FLORIDA, USA
The "A. Max Brewer" Bridge in Titusville, Florida, is a fixed structure with three spans, approximately 3,207 feet long, but it wasn't always this way. The bridge's first construction dates back to the 1940s, but over time its mechanical conditions deteriorated, leading to frequent breakdowns of the rotating section during normal operations. This prevented large ships from continuing along the Intracoastal Waterway and also hindered vehicle traffic.
For this reason, Webuild, through its subsidiary Lane Construction replaced the existing bridge with a fixed bridge, 3,207 feet long, which includes a main structure with three spans. Specifically, the bridge is composed of preloaded T-beam approach spans measuring 78 inches in length and a 78-inch three-span T-beam unit, supported by single-column hammerhead piers that ensure resistance to various structural loads.
Lane also reconstructed and realigned the SR 406 roadway and the bridge approaches and built a 300-foot (approximately 91 meters) ADA-certified fishing pier near the bridge, with decorative railings and pedestrian lighting.
