Barrineau Park Road Closed For Bridge Repair

October 16, 2009

Barrineau Park Road will be closed beginning this morning from Jacks Branch Road to Barrineau Park School Road.

The road will be closed while repairs are made to the Penasula Creek Bridge which is located north of the intersection of Barrineau Park Road and Jacks Branch Road. Sonya Daniel, Escambia County spokesperson, did not give a timetable for the bridge to reopen, but NorthEscambia.com has learned the closure may last several weeks.

The only detours around the closure would be either Chestnut Road or Highway 29 between Barrineau Park Road and Molino Road.

Henry Hiebert, assistant chief of the Molino Station of Escambia Fire-Rescue, said his volunteer members will be aware of the bridge closure and plan their responses so that it will not be a problem.

“We have volunteers responding to calls from both sides of the bridge,” he said. “It won’t really be a problem.”

The closure also impacts a popular route from South Highway 99 and Highway 97 in Walnut Hill to Pensacola.

The closed bridge is marked with the green icon on the map below.
