VERO BEACH — The temporary closure of the fishing pier under the east end of the Merrill Barber Bridge has been extended through Nov. 15 due to longer than anticipated procurement times and additional work.
The fishing pier has been closed since Sept. 9 for ADA upgrades and surface repairs. 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 SR 60, from Indian River Blvd. to Riverside Park Dr. Work for this project includes repair and rehabilitation of the Merrill Barber Bridge and cleaning and painting to the exterior surfaces of the bridge elements.
