$1.7 Million Dawson Road Bridge Replacement Is Complete
January 23, 2024
After almost a year, a $1.7 million Escambia County bridge replacement project on Dawson Road just south of Century is now complete, and the bridge is open.
Temporary repairs were made in 2016 to the structurally deficient timber bridge over Pritchell Mill Branch that was constructed in 1965.
It has now been replaced with a 76-foot long concrete structure. The project also included replacement of about 270 feet of roadway, curb and gutter, guardrail improvements and ditch grading. The Town of Century also moved two a 3-inch water main and a 3/4 inch Town of Century gas main
The Florida Department of Transportation will pick up about $1.2 million of the cost through a Florida Department of Transportation Local Agency Partnership Agreement (FDOT/LAP) approved in 2017.
The bridge has been closed for construction since early February 2023. A short detour of about one mile was in place during the work.

” but yet the bridge is yet to be fixed that goes to the apartments on Jefferson”
The Freedom Road Bridge in Century? That’s the town of Century’s financial responsibility. This bridge (Dawson Rd) is an Escambia County Bridge and Escambia County paid up.
Spent that for the 3 residents on that road that has enough money to build it themselves wow but yet the bridge is yet to be fixed that goes to the apartments on Jefferson
1.7 Million and can’t manage to put the yellow paint stripe lane divider on straight.
Quality work.
