1. Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Leesburg, Florida,

City Commission Meeting · 2026-05-26 · agenda_item

The City of Leesburg is moving forward with design services for the Palm Harbor Drive Bridge rehabilitation and repair. This project was initiated after a boater observed damage to the head wall and a pedestrian noted erosion and drainage issues affecting the seawall. A bridge inspection report confirmed these issues and recommended professional engineering design for repairs. Halff Associates Inc. has been selected to provide these design services, which will cover all aspects from initial assessment to final repair plans. This is an early stage in the public process, as the city has just authorized the task order for design. The work will involve detailed engineering analysis, site assessment, and the creation of construction drawings. This phase will set the stage for future construction, including potential site clearing, structural repairs, and related infrastructure work. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to Halff Associates Inc. and city officials now to understand the project scope and timelines, as this early engagement can provide an advantage before bid and permit processes are finalized.
