Sandy Hollow Road Bridge Closed For Emergency Repairs
April 7, 2010
Sandy Hollow Road at Sandy Hollow Creek in Davisville was closed this afternoon for emergency bridge repairs, according to Sonya Daniel, Escambia County’s public information manager.
The Florida Department of Transportation’s bridge consultant, Volkert and Associates, recommended that the bridge be closed after an inspection. One or possibly two of the pilings that support the bridge need replacing, according to Escambia County.
Highway 97 is the detour for the road, which runs from West Highway 4 to Gobbler Road. The bridge, located about a mile and a half south of Highway 4, already had a restricted weight limit of 20 tons.
The county is waiting for the contractor and county engineering staff to meet and provide an estimate time period for the bridge repairs.
