The A. Max Brewer Bridge was a $44.8 million design-build project located within the City of Titusville, just east of US 1 along SR 406. This massive project involved the replacement of an existing low-level steel swing-span bridge (Bridge No. 704049) and south relief bridge (Bridge No. 704125), both constructed in the 1940s. The original bridge was in poor mechanical condition and prone to breakdowns during normal operation, frequently delaying commuters and tourists during peak traffic times. The breakdowns also prohibited large vessels from continuing along the Intracoastal Waterway. The maturing structure was beginning to deteriorate over time, giving FDOT District Five an urgent challenge to be resolved.<ref>[https://drmp.com/expertise/design-build/a-max-brewer-bridge-replacement DRMP: A.

About the Max Brewer Bridge
Coordinates (27°45′41″N, 80°24′58″W) (27.761389, -80.416111)
The A. Max Brewer Bridge was a $44.8 million design-build project located within the City of Titusville, just east of US 1 along SR 406. This massive project involved the replacement of an existing low-level steel swing-span bridge (Bridge No. 704049) and south relief bridge (Bridge No. 704125), both constructed in the 1940s. The original bridge was in poor mechanical condition and prone to breakdowns during normal operation, frequently delaying commuters and tourists during peak traffic times. The breakdowns also prohibited large vessels from continuing along the Intracoastal Waterway. The maturing structure was beginning to deteriorate over time, giving FDOT District Five an urgent challenge to be resolved.[1]
Max Brewer Bridge is closed to vehicle traffic during Kennedy Space Center launches, and becomes an ideal viewing spot for pedestrians. The bridge is a popular recreational spot for Titusville residents. The bridge grounds offer boat ramps, fishing piers, catwalks, and picnic areas on the water. A brisk walk over the bridge and back is a favorite exercise routine for local walkers.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) maintains a field office, and Florida Marine Patrol docks patrol boats, at the northeast corner of the bridge.
