Garcon Point Bridge Toll Suspension Extended Again, Maybe For The Last Time
May 8, 2021
The Garcon Point Bridge has been suspended again for what could be the last time.
Friday night, the state ordered the toll suspended again until June 6. The suspension was set to expire on Sunday, May 9.
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.
The Florida Department of Transportation says the Pensacola Bay Bridge should reopen the week of May 31.

If you’re traveling from Pensacola to Ft. Walton Beach, take I10 East to the Hwy 87 Exit, which takes you through Navarre.
The second option is to take I10 East to the Hwy 85 Exit in Crestview, which will take you to Ft. Walton Beach. This option is a little longer, but has less traffic.
Avoid the Garcon Point Bridge/Avalon Blvd Exit!

Haven’t been in Pensacola area in 20 years, will be there in two weeks…what time are rush hour now over Garcon ?
Yes there are signs posted. You will have to take I-10 to the Garcon point bridge to get to FWB or Pensacola Beach. Do not attempt to travel at rush hour!!!
