Concrete Pours Completed On The Last Two Spans Needed To Open Pensacola Bay Bridge
May 7, 2021
Work is continuing on repairs to the Pensacola Bay Bridge, and the Florida Department of Transportation says they are still on track to open two lanes of traffic on the bridge the week of May 31.
Overnight concrete pours are completed on the last two spans before the bridge can open.

Next time complete the new bridge before tearing down the old one!
>>>Sorry if this is a ridiculous question, but is the last photo attached to this story an old photo? Is it the ‘before’ pic of the one above it?
They were provided by FDOT as being current as of last week.

Amazing to see the Progress, Thanks to all hands and minds that are putting this needed connector back into place and service.
Lots of these “timid” folks will soon be zipping across the new bridge and in a few more months will be fussing about how much traffic there is.
Bridge Workers, Be Safe and Stay Well, Thank you for your work.
I don’t know. I recently watched a show about bridge collapse and learned that even the smallest, seemingly insignificant defect in design, engineering or construction can result in a major collapse…and has. The smallest crack sometimes that might occur and go undetected can be catastrophic. I’m thinking I will wait a long time before using that bridge. I did drive across the completed part prior to the damage from the hurricane. It just seemed to me to be poorly constructed with rough patches of road and an angle (apparently for drainage) that felt uncomfortable to drive on. Nothing like the I10 bridge over Escambia Bay.
We would not be reading this if the executives at big “S” would have done what they were supposed to before a hurricane hit!
FrogTape is now the bandaid of choice for bridge patches!
I feel for the residents & people who require using the bridge for work, mostly emergency traffic. Hope the bridge is back strong soon.
Lol..y’all are just to funny, I really needed the laugh with that being said I think I will wait a few months before driving on that untested patchwork.
Lol..y’all are just to funny.
I booked my vacation at Virginia Beach (my 2nd favorite) because I didn’t think bridge was complete. Does anyone want to trade reservations?
What if they patched a bridge and nobody came?
I hope they got the super glue
mix right this time
Went by the 3 mile bridge today…..looks like repairs are just about complete just need a little more duck tape.
