McElhaney Road in Bratt Now Closed For $810K FEMA Drainage Project

October 23, 2023

McElhaney Road just south of the state line in Bratt is now closed for a Hurricane Sally FEMA project to improve drainage structures.
Drivers can detour along North Highway 99 and Old Bratt Road.

The $810,715.45 project will replace the drainage structures at 7200 and 8000 McElhaney Road. FEMA will fund $770,179.68 (95%) of the cost, while Escambia County will be responsible for $40,535.77 (5%).

The work includes clearing of all hurricane debris, removing damaged existing culvert pipes and riprap, installing a new pipe/box culvert, restabilizing and reconstructing the roadway pavement, and replacing riprap within the ditch bottom. Minor ditch regrading, resetting existing fence, and installing concrete ditch pavement will be required.

IT is scheduled to take about 180 days to complete after the October 24 closure.
