Cedar Point Pedestrian Bridge

The City of Jacksonville, Florida needed a firm to provide Ecological Permitting Services for the Cedar Point Pedestrian Bridge.  The bridge is one of the finishing pieces in connecting a large existing trail network.

In partnership with the National Park Service, DRMP assisted the City of Jacksonville with constructing a pedestrian bridge over Cedar Point Creek, a sovereign submerged land.  This project required a jurisdictional wetland delineation, a general wildlife survey, GIS mapping and analysis, agency coordination and environmental resource permits.  A General Permit was obtained from the St Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), a Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (TIITF) easement was obtained from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and a Nationwide Permit was obtained from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 

The new bridge connects 28-miles of existing trails within the Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve.  The trail provides a recreational space for residents who wish to walk, run or bike in the great outdoors.
