Location | |
A. Max Brewer Bridge is a girder bridge in Titusville, Florida. The bridge cost $44.8 million to build and is named in honor of Albert “Max” Brewer, a Titusville attorney in the 1950s who was killed in a private plane crash in 1966. The bridge was selected for the People’s Choice Award, an award presented by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
Reconstruction
The bridge was constructed due to the poor condition of the existing bridge, which posed a risk of collapse. The high-level fixed bridge was built over the low-level and short original bridge.
