Temporary delay in Lemon Bay causeway project approval
Sarasota County Commission halted approval of the Lemon Bay causeway contract after rejecting bids due to irregularity in one bid. County Engineer Charles O.

Bidders included Wynn Warren Construction and Graves Construction Service. The interim causeway will serve after dismantling the old bridge and during new construction.
