REGARDING:
“Kevin Ragon; for County Commissioner!”

In 4 years?

Regarding a state matter?

It looked to me like they were driving steel pilings already.

Why not rebuild a new wood bridge, the last bridge lasted 60 years. The cost wouldn’t be significant at all.

To those of you complaining about the county, the state is the one that closed the road and that is said it is unsafe to cross. And yes the State of Florida is paying for it not the county.

Ahhh DHG,

We’ve been enjoying them for years and are glad to know they will continue.

REGARDING:
“But they have money for a bridge to nowhere. Makes since to me.”

Sense

As William pointed out, it isn’t “nowhere” it is swimming, camping, fishing, hiking, hunting, “pic-a-nics” (as Yogi Bear would say), blueberry and huckleberry eating and other recreational activities of benefit to thousands of people.

If they also dredged a channel from the big gravel lake to the cut-off, it would be easy boat access to the Escambia River, assuming it will have water again eventually.

Tear it down! No sense in keeping a junk bridge for “historical reasons”
