What people don’t understand when they say the bridge us closed due to safety reasons don’t move the barrel s . people have been moving them to cross the bridge how crazy is that.

Isn’t the county suppose to inspect these and repair these or report it to the FDOT eventually in a plan?
I find that the FDOT put a notice in to the county seems backward.
Did some individual report it or does FDOT come around and do inspections. Just curious of the process.
It would be a tragedy for it to just cave in, if in fact the county is supposed to be up here in the north end inspecting things.
That’s an unexpected detour for an unspecified amount of time to say the least.
What else has not had proper attention on this northern boundary of Escambia County? Hey Escambia County, we live here and pay taxes too you know.
Pro act rather than react.
