Davisville Bridge Repair Price Tag: $88,830
May 10, 2010
Emergency repairs to the bridge over Sandy Hollow Creek in Davisville are due to be complete this week will cost the county $88,830.
The bridge on Sandy Hollow Road was closed April 7 after Volkert, Inc., the Florida Department of Transportation’s bridge inspection contractor, found advanced deterioration of timber pilings.
To expedite the repair work and minimize the impact to residents in the area, the county issued an emergency purchase order to DKE Marine Service, Inc.
The repairs included the replacement of eight pilings, the backwall and headwall of the bridge and new guardrails on both sides of the bridge. DKE was given until May 12 to complete the repairs.

if the pilings were rotten, the load on top did not cause the rot.
if the trucks were overloaded, the department of transportation is responsible for policing them.
if they were not overloaded, they have the right to use the roads the same as real people do.
David thinking some things just wear out
like ME!
Ive been working on this bridge since the job started,it was in need of repair very badly.the bridge is very old, and needed pilings changed,they where rotted..we finished today.but the asphalt has to cool..we will be removing the work barge in the morning..so the road sould be open by 12:00..lunch time..,Keith with DKE MARINE SERVICE really knows what he’s doing and has been really good to work for..
since the damage was more than likely done by HEAVY log trucks flying down sandy hollow rd, can’t they be held liable?
Looks like a lot of work to get done by Wednesday.
Hopefully they will get this fixed quickly, so that everyone that uses this road won’t have to take so many detours, and at least it will hopefully be alot safer for drivers to cross over…
