NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. – The Florida Department of Transportation this week started a project to repaint the Thomas B. Shave Jr. Bridge over the Amelia River on State Road A1A in Nassau County.
Minor structural repairs will also be part of the $3 million project, officials said. They said the main spans will be sandblasted and repainted, and the work should last about a year.
