The Bradenton Beach, FL city pier has reopened following a $2.2 million renovation. The historic pier at the end of Bridge Street had been closed after suffering hurricane damage The 650-foot pier now includes the popular re-opened Rotten Ralph’s restaurant, a fishing kiosk, harbormaster’s office and rest rooms with showers. Approximately 4,500 sq. ft. of Petersen’s Snap-Clad panels finished in Silver Metallic were utilized on the project. The panels were installed by Sutter Roofing Company, Sarasota, FL.
