Green Bridge Fishing Pier Repairs to Bring Temporary Closures and Delays

Repairs to the Green Bridge Fishing Pier are scheduled to begin April 13, with construction expected to continue through the end of the month. The project will focus on necessary rail repairs along the popular pedestrian fishing pier connecting Bradenton and Palmetto.

During construction, visitors should anticipate intermittent disruptions, including two to three days of full closures. At other times, temporary barricades will be installed to separate pedestrians from active work areas, allowing limited access while maintaining safety.

Officials are advising residents and visitors to use caution when traveling through the area, remain alert for construction crews and equipment, and plan for potential delays. The Green Bridge Fishing Pier is a well-used route for recreation and pedestrian travel, making safety a priority throughout the project.

Community members are encouraged to allow extra time when navigating the area and to follow all posted signage and guidance during construction. The improvements are part of ongoing efforts to maintain safe and accessible infrastructure along the Manatee River waterfront.
