Hatchet Creek Bridge repairs on SR-26 in Alachua County due to finish in September

A $3.6 million repair project on the Hatchet Creek Bridge along State Road 26 in Alachua County is expected to wrap up in September, according to the Florida Department of Transportation. FDOT fast-tracked the effort after the structure — already deemed structurally deficient before 2024 — sustained additional damage from multiple hurricanes, including flooding caused by Hurricane Debby. Work includes stabilization of the surrounding area near the Newnans Lake Conservation Area and drainage improvements.
