About the event
Speakers Juan Valenzuela, PE and Edward Severino, PE from Florida Bridge and Transportation, Inc (FBT) will be presenting at the August Webinar.
FBT served as the lead structures subconsultant on this project for FDOT District 5 and served as the Structures Engineer of Record for the flyover bridge. Section 3B of the Wekiva Parkway (SR 429)/SR 46 Realignment Project is the western-most section of the SR 46 Realignment Project within Lake County. The SR 46 corridor provides the connection to key transportation routes such as the Wekiva Parkway, Interstate 4, and the entire beltway system around metropolitan Orlando. The project converted the existing diamond interchange at US 441 over SR 46 to an at-grade intersection by providing a new flyover bridge to accommodate the heavy traffic volumes from southbound US 441 as vehicles enter the SR 46 corridor and connect to the Wekiva Parkway. The owner of the bridge is FDOT District 5 and the FDOT Central Office provided the oversight of the Category 2 Bridge design. The General Contractor was GLF Construction Corporation. The project was located adjacent to a residential neighborhood and provided constraints for geometry and aesthetics.
