The Memorial Highway Bridge, which runs over Double Branch Creek in western Hillsborough County, Fl was closed for repairs in August 2007 just after the Minnesota bridge collapse happened. Hillsborough county now has money available through the Department of Transportation to replace the bridge.
The DOT says other Bay area bridges being replaced include the John’s Pass Bridge in Pinellas County, Fl which is well into its construction schedule, and the State Road 39 Bridge over the Hillsborough River in Pasco County, Fl. That bridge received funding to begin construction this year.
