New Highway 4 Bridge To Open This Week
August 18, 2024
The Florida Department of Transportation says the Highway 4 bridge over Canoe Creek will reopen sometime this week.
FDOT told NorthEscambia.com that the bridge is complete, but there are a few minor items that need to be fixed prior to traffic being allowed across the bridge. One of those items is as simple as some reflective paint that was spilled and must be cleaned up to avoid a hazard for drivers at night.
The exact opening date and time are not known, but we’ll let you know here on NorthEscambia.com.
The estimated completion date for the nearly $4 million bridge had been delayed by weather until September 1, but contractors were able to finish construction last week.
The new bridge replaces an 81-year-old structure that hat was closed on July 10, 2023 ,with traffic between Bratt and Century detoured.

I’m not sure why Elijah but you’re out of luck.
The widening of Highway 4 started 25 years ago and ended 24 years ago. No one seems interested in Highway 4 any longer, but you are correct
It is great that the Canoe Creek bridge is nearing its opening. But if you drive from hwy 29 to the bridge or from the bridge to Northview HS you will see it is in desperate need of repair. It needs to be expanded and resurfaced as soon as possible. I have mentioned this many times over the years and hopefully this issue will be addressed.
“Now they need to work on the one on freedom rd.”
Sorry. “They” won’t. The “they” that did this project were the state and county. The town of century was given the money for the freedom road bridge and they’ve sat on their butts and not done the work with the “money in the bank”, or in their pockets!
Now they need to work on the one on freedom rd. So we can use the road instead of having to go all the way around & onto highway 4
