Work Continues On $1.8 Million Fannie Road Bridge Replacement

October 19, 2014

Work is continuing on the Fannie Road Bridge just outside Century.

According to the Florida Department of Transportation, the bridge construction is near complete, and crews are currently working to prepare and pave the approaches on each side of the bridge. The project is expected to be complete sometime in November, according to FDOT spokesperson Tanya Branton.

The $1.8 million bridge over Dead Lake includes a  new concrete structure consisting of two 12-foot wide travel lanes and eight foot shoulders. The project is located on a county road, but funding by the Florida Department of Transportation.

Fannie Road has been closed, with traffic detoured through Century and Flomaton, since March of this year.

    I will be so glad when it is finished too! It takes a while to go all the way around on 31. I use this road as a cut off on my way to Cantonment. I actually timed it and it takes me longer to get on 29 going down 31 than it does when I cut off on Fannie Road.

    Sure be glad when its open again. Our children have to catch the bus at a business on 29 every morning because the bridge is out!
