Spectators watched a 138-ton capacity crane work off of a barge to demolish the structure when its removal began in mid-April.

A fishing pier, floating dock, canoe/kayak launch and boardwalk will take the bridge’s place as part of the Snook Islands Natural Area, a restoration project of the Lake Worth Lagoon, the Post said. [Palm Beach Post]
