JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- City and state officials are still trying to decide what to do with the remains of the old Fuller Warren Bridge. According to the results of a Jacksonville Waterways Commission study released Tuesday, transforming the bridge into a fishing pier would cost $2.7 million.

City and state officials have been at odds over whether to convert the former Interstate 95 link across the St. Johns River into a pedestrian pier or demolish it, as was originally planned in 2002. When complaints from environmentalists came in about how the state was disposing of the debris, federal authorities halted the work, and some -- such as St. Johns Riverkeeper Neil Armingeon -- proposed turning the bridge into a fishing pier instead.

Commissioners now plan to review the study and vote on recommendations at their next meeting, scheduled for May 5. Department of Transportation officials have said they will demolish the existing structure if the conversion to a fishing pier is deemed too expensive.
