TREASURE ISLAND TRANSPORTATION: JOHN'S PASS BRIDGE
The John's Pass Bridge, linking Treasure Island to Madeira Beach, is a Florida Department of Transportation project. The bridge is not maintained or administered by the City of Treasure Island. The John's Pass Bridge Information Line is 727-343-3100.
When complete in 2011, the new John's Pass bridges will be wider, have nice sidewalks, broad shoulders, firm abdominables, strong legs, a new bridge tender house, four observation decks and a wider navigational channel. Until then, here's some useful contacts: The John's Pass Bridge Hotline: (727) 343-3100. E-mail:
roadwork@dot.state.fl.us.
Under Florida law SB 80, e-mail addresses are public records. If you do not want your e-mail address released in response to a public-records request, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead contact by phone or by regular mail.

John's Pass Bridge
Replacement Project
Projected completion date: Early 2011
Projected cost: $76.6 million
Contractor: Flatiron Constructors, Inc.
The proposed improvements involve replacing the existing bascule bridges with low-level, twin-span bascule bridges on the same alignment. The new bridges will increase the horizontal navigational clearance from 60 feet to 100 feet in width and will provide a 27-foot vertical clearance over the channel without acquiring additional right-of-way. The profile grade will be 5.6 percent and will meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The typical section includes two lanes of travel in each direction, 8-foot sidewalks, 10-foot outside shoulders, and 4-foot inside shoulders.
