BACKGROUND Although temporary support to pier caps 9,12, 20, 28, and 29 were undertaken during the week of 9 March 2026, the repairs on the Broad Causeway Waterway Bridge started on 1 April 2026. Each pier cap consists of 8 pedestals (numbered from north to south) that transfer loads to the piers and then to the foundations. At pier cap # 9, pedestals 5, 6, 7, and 8 were originally targeted for repairs and a work platform was erected to perform the requisite work. Pedestal # 3 was later also found to be severely deteriorated and with the work platform already in place, it was advantageous to undertake this repair simultaneously with the other pedestals. The table below summarizes the emergency repairs that have already been authorized at the time of this writing.
