Making A Difference
When it's all said and done, FDOT | District One will have strategically placed nearly 1,000 Wave Attenuation Devices (WADs) along the south Skyway Fishing Pier Access Road (Manatee County). WADs are engineered to dissipate wave energy to reduce, eliminate, and/or reverse coastal erosion. They are also stable and durable habitats that allow marine life to grow on the structure and eventually develop into natural barrier reef systems. The project will take approximately 2-3 months to complete and cost approximately $6.3 million.
