In 2014, a bus got stuck on the Venetian Causeway, which caused a portion of the bridge to fall into the water. This forced county officials to spend $12.4 million to repair the Western portion of the bridge, which started in June 2015.

After months of construction and repair, the bridge is expected to open again on February 29th.

Venetian Causeway May Get Completely Redone

On March 15, a bus traveling down the Venetian Causeway got stuck over a draw bridge, which caused a portion of the bridge to fall and expose a hole. This caused repairs to start right away on the bridge.

FDOT(Florida Department of Transportation) has launched a study that may completely re-do the Venetian Causeway.

The types of bridges like the Venetian only have a 50 year life span and this bridge has exceeded that time frame.

The study will take about three years before anything is final.
