VERO BEACH — Beginning Monday, Sept. 9, the fishing pier located under the east end of Barber Bridge will be closed for ADA upgrades and surface repairs. This closure is anticipated to last up to 45 days.
While the fishing pier is closed, no one will be permitted to access this area. Signs are currently in place at the pier to notify the public of this closure.
The fishing pier closure is part of the $1.55 million Merrill Barber Bridge maintenance and rehabilitation project on State Road 60, from Indian River Boulevard to Riverside Park Drive.
Work for this project includes repair and rehabilitation of the Barber Bridge, cleaning, and painting of the exterior surfaces of the bridge elements.
