Manatee County Looking for Federal Money to Widen the Fort Hamer Bridge

Manatee County Looking for Federal Money to Widen the Fort Hamer Bridge

Manatee County Commissioners say that the new span would benefit transportation for East Manatee County.

This proposed addition to the bridge would add an extra two travel lanes beside the current Fort Hamer Bridge and is being pursued in conjunction with another project to widen Fort Hamer Road from the Manatee River to U.S. 301.

Manatee County will apply for the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity Federal Grant Application for the 2023 fiscal year.

The funds requested are $39.02 million, and Manatee County is required to offer a match of $19.51 million.

If the County project is approved for federal funding , that money would be delivered via grants over the next five years. Manatee County also intends to submit a project application for the bridge each year.
