New $4 Million Highway 4 Bridge Is Now Open (With Gallery)
August 29, 2024
The Highway 4 bridge over Canoe Creek reopened Wednesday afternoon.
The estimated completion date for the nearly $4 million bridge had been delayed by weather until September 1. Contractors were able to finish construction in August, but the opening was then delayed by paint problems.
For a photo gallery, click here.
The new bridge replaces an 81-year-old structure that hat was closed on July 10, 2023, with traffic between Bratt and Century detoured.
Editor’s note: The photos here and in the gallery were taken a couple of weeks ago before paint issues were fixed. We were unable to take new photos after the opening Wednesday afternoon due to a strong thunderstorm, heavy downpours and lightning.

Thank you thank you FDOT. Your work is never done and I hope some of the other issues in northern Escambia are addressed asap.
