Emergency Repairs Set To Begin On Quintette Road Bridge
September 8, 2015
The Quintette Rooad Bridge is set to be temporarily shifted to a single lane due to bridge repairs from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. until Friday, September 18.
On June 25, the Escambia County Commission authorized an emergency purchase order to DKE Marine Services for emergency bridge repairs on a portion of the bridge on Quintette Road for $196,369.40.
On Friday, June 19, Escambia County received notification from Infrastructure Engineers, a Florida Department of Transportation bridge inspection contractor, that recommended immediate repair to pilings under the bridge. The repair, the inspectors said, is needed to advance scouring around three pilings under the bridge.
Quintette Road is a major east/west corridor over the Escambia River between Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. The bridge was constructed in 1957.

I’m just glad prioritization has been given to this major yet local and yet underapreciated thoroughfare and it is being cared for before people like me plunge unwillingly into the river on our way to work and shuttle kids to school. I WISH IT WERE FOUR LANED.
