Garcon Point Bridge Toll Suspension Extended Again
April 9, 2021
The toll suspension on the Garcon Point bridge has been extended through May9, 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 toll suspension was previously set to expire Friday, April 9.
The Pensacola Bay Bridge is expected to open the week of May 31.

This bridge had accumulated a lot of debt I thought prior to Hurricane Sally.
I wonder what will happen after Memorial Day weekend when the new bridge is reopened?
@just saying …. The powers of the governor are limited so I would guess he extends it for as long a period of time as Florida law allows him too.
Why all the extensions? Why not just say it will be lifted until the new bridge is open?
Mr Seale, good point. Same thing could of been said in 2004 when Ivan hit and knocked out the I-10 Escambia Bay bridge.
It really funny, this is a bridge
NO one wanted to build..
