Molino Bridge Reopening Delayed Until Next Week

April 6, 2011

The reopening of a bridge over Alligator Creek on Crabtree Church Road in Molino has been delayed until April 13. The bridge was expected to open Friday.

Additional work is being done on the bridge deck and guardrail, according to Sonya Daniel, public information manager for Escambia County.

The initial closure took place on March 24, when advanced decay was found in one of the pilings during a routine inspection. DKE Marine is handling the repairs under an emergency work order.

The bridge on Crabtree Church Road is about halfway between Sunshine Hill Road and Highway 99. The recommended east/west detour is Molino Road between Highway 99 and Sunshine Hill Road.
