This forum is slow during the winter months so I figured I would add this. I'll be glad when this project is complete this summer (fingers crossed). The three way light situation works well but will not be missed!

Thanks for the update! Haven't been since Thanksgiving.

So, it's back to just a stop sign then?

Still a three way light.. Ready for that to go away when the work is done!

Another pic from today plus a bonus one





Beautiful afternoon on the water!

So that corner right there in your second picture of OP has always been empty. I'm sure that's city property. Is there any plan to develop that or does Key Allegro own it and leave it that way on purpose? Never sure about that. I think I may have read something in our KA newsletter but don't recall.

Also, I noticed the lone blue house back south of that corner is for sale. Always thought that was a unique spot for that house.

Update, looks like the contractor is about to switch traffic so they can start work on the other side. Another beautiful day down on the gulf coast!

I'm trying to remember which side of the bridge we used to launch from for the Sunfish races out in the bay. It's been about 35 years, but I think it was on the Rockport side.

What are those two teal/turquoise buildings?

The teal buildings (north side of the bridge) are Key Allegro Yacht Club and the Key Allegro Real Estate office. They are on the bay side of the bridge. I bet that's where you launched!

Random: the fried shrimp at Key Allegro Yacht Club are the best I've ever had. Incredible.

Headed to the Key Allegro Yacht Club in about 30 minutes. Have heard the Bloody Mary's are pretty good.
There may not be time to do the job right, but there is always time to do the job over!!

Pics from this morning. Driving on part of the new bridge now. Best fried shrimp in background

Apparently I missed the excitement later, the old bridge collapsed (after I took my photo) when the contractor drove a track hoe over it. That's the same section we have been using since Harvey!

Wow!

That could have been a really bad outcome if I was not able to physically get to Key Allegro Yacht Club.

Damn….might ruin a shrimp dinner….maybe!

Hope the new side isn't damaged from that crash.

Been a while since my last update…not a lot of visible progress. Rip-rap is in for second half of the foundation.

Will be there in 8 days. If you look in that blue building in your second pic there is really good fried shrimp in there.

Just thought I would remind y'all.
