Highway 97 Traffic Moving To Temporary Bridge On Tuesday
May 12, 2018
Traffic on Highway 97 over Sandy Hollow Creek near Davisville in Escambia County will be transitioned to a temporary bridge on Tuesday.
The Florida Department of Transportation said motorists may encounter minor delays as workers prepare to switch traffic. Once the transition is complete, crews will begin replacing the 78-year-old structure with a new 12-foot wide bridge with eight-foot shoulders and a concrete barrier railing. The bridge approaches will also be resurfaced. The entire project is anticipated to be complete in the fall of this year, weather permitting.
FDOT is reminding drivers to slow down to the posted 45 mph speed limit and to use caution when approaching the temporary bridge. A weight restriction is in place on the temporary bridgel vehicles weighing over 88,000 pounds and cranes are prohibited.

According to their sign, construction will be completed by August 30. It took 4 1/2 months to build the temporary bridge which leaves 3 1/2 months to tear down and build the new bridge. Will they meet the deadline?
