The Renfrew Bridge is due to close for the first time this month with halves built separately in Belgium and Netherlands.

The $1.3B project, scheduled to begin construction later this year, will replace a bridge causing traffic delays.

The new 507-ft-long South West 1st Street bridge provides a stylish connection between downtown Miami and the Little Havana neighborhood, with a 315-ft double-leaf bascule span across the 125-ft-wide Miami River navigation channel.

Total construction spending expected to slip in 2020, continuing the weakness seen in 2019
