Subject: PBB Damage

As I’m sure you aware the bridge has been struck twice today and the fishing pier once due to Skanska barges that have
broken loose of their moorings/ spuds.
US 98 has been closed since early this AM due to the first barge hit. The extent of damage is as of yet undetermined.
We need to provide answers to the State Secretary’s Office and the Governor’s Office as to when the bridge can be re-
opened to traffic.
As of this minute FDOT has received no assistance from the Skanska Team-to help determine the structural adequacy of
the bridge. The problem arose due to Skanska’s inability to properly secure barges or move them to a safe haven. The
first barge that hit the bridge occurred when the local airport registered winds of 29 mph, not exactly tropical force
winds.
This is totally unacceptable!
FDOT has now paid Skanska for a new bridge but due to poor management decisions on Skanska’s part, has a bridge
with unknown structural deficiencies.
I am asking Skanska to assist in providing answers to the extent of damage, repair procedures and most importantly the
structural integrity of the damaged structure.
An expedient answer is of the utmost importance.
Sincerely,
