Eustis, FL – A partial bridge collapse in the Spring Ridge Estates neighborhood of Eustis forced 21 homes to evacuate Thursday evening following several days of heavy rainfall across Lake County.
According to the City of Eustis, the bridge along Creek Run Lane gave way after record rainfall earlier in the week weakened the structure. Officials confirmed the bridge is privately owned and maintained by the neighborhood’s homeowners association.
City crews are coordinating with Lake County Emergency Management, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Eustis Public Works to assess the extent of the damage and determine the next steps. Creek Run Lane will remain closed for the foreseeable future as evaluations continue.
“We are fortunate to have dedicated teams that are committed to public safety and protecting our community,” said City Manager Tom Carrino in a statement.
The City of Eustis said it will continue monitoring the area and share updates as new information becomes available.
