Bimini Drive Bridge Replacement

KCA provided structures, drainage, and roadway design; environmental assessment and permitting; utility coordination; and public involvement services for the Bimini Drive Bridge (Bridge No. 904603) Replacement project. The Bimini Drive Bridge is one of four historic Duck Key bridges, requiring evaluation under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). KCA led the Section 106 (NHPA) process to a successful conclusion, obtaining a MOA for all four historic bridges. Tasks included assessment of wetland, seagrass, coral, and protected species impacts resulting from the proposed structure replacement as well as coordination with federal and state resource and regulatory agencies. Additional tasks included obtaining US Army Corps of Engineers 404 dredge and fill permit, US Coast Guard Bridge Permit, Florida Department of Environmental Protection National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, and South Florida Water Management District Environmental Resource Permit.
