Drivers crossing the 27th Avenue bridge in Vero Beach should plan for delays after the city launched repairs on the span Monday, with lane closures set to remain in place for nearly two months.

The work, which began April 20, targets the bridge between Atlantic Boulevard and Aviation Boulevard and is expected to finish by June 14, the City of Vero Beach Public Works Department announced. Motorists using the corridor during morning or evening commutes should allow extra travel time, as lane restrictions are anticipated throughout the repair window.

The city did not disclose the scope of the structural work, the project cost, or the contractor performing the repairs.

Residents with questions or concerns about the closures can contact the Vero Beach Public Works Department at 772-978-4870.
