Ms. Bisno,

The Venetian Bridges Rehabilitation project will be issued a Notice to Proceed on April 13, 2009. A Community Meeting will take place on Thursday, April 16, 2009 at the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens, 2000 Convention Center Drive, Miami Beach, Florida 33109, from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. The meeting is to provide project specifics including, construction schedule and the closure of the east bascule bridge, which will require a detour to the MacArthur Causeway. A meeting prior to the start of construction was not feasible due to the upcoming religious holidays.
