The official groundbreaking for the new  Myakkahatchee Creek bridge was held on beautiful Friday May 6, 2016 at the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park in North Port.  This bridge will be a key link in the North Port Connector Trail that will eventually connect The Legacy Trail with North Port.  The North Port Connector Trail and the location of the new bridge are shown here.
