Garcon Point Bridge Toll Suspension Extended Again
March 12, 2021
The toll suspension on the Garcon Point bridge has been extended through April 9, 2021, the Florida Department of Transportation announced Friday morning.
“The extension allows the Garcon Point Bridge to continue serving as a temporary detour route while the Pensacola Bay Bridge is being repaired from damage sustained during Hurricane Sally,” FDOT said in a news release.
The Pensacola Bay Bridge is no longer expected to open in March as previously announced due to additional repairs. An exact opening date has not been provided, but it is expected to be sometime in May.

So because of a contractor not doing their job, we suffer. I hope this delay comes out of the pockets of Skanska, 6 months should have been more than enough time to get a partial opening.
The bridge will be done just in time for this year’s hurricane season to knock it down again.
For those of us that live on the point we’re also happy there is no toll iandvit being extended… But our governor Ron DeSantis needs to help for repairs on the garçon point bridge because it wasn’t built for this kind of traffic… Contact your senators and representatives..
From the time it was build, it should have been a no toll bridge. Not a a private entity dictating toll chargers on their revenue Our region is not Manhattan, San Diego or Miami. Some years a go Florida only had tolls on the Florida turnpike and near Disney. Keep the traffic flow going without fees and charges, tourists and revenue will keep coming in , as well as government and private investment.
MAY!!!!
As in it may open and it MAY not.
Instead of moving the date for toll suspension,why don”t they just say tolls will be suspended until the 3 mile bridge opens to traffic?
Any one surprised yet?
Hopefully when it is opened it will be safe.
MAY!!!!
ok, now what year?
