Traffic To Switch At County Road 97A Boggy Creek Bridge
March 23, 2017
Construction of the detour (acrow) bridge on County Road 97A over Boggy Creek near Enon in Escambia County is complete. Traffic was to be transitioned to the temporary structure Thursday, March 23. Drivers were reminded to use caution as workers make necessary adjustments to move traffic.
Crews will now begin replacing the existing structure with a new, modern bridge encompassing 12-foot travel lanes, eight foot shoulders and a solid concrete barrier railing. The bridge approaches will also be replaced. Work is anticipated to be complete in the fall of 2017, weather permitting, on the $3,041,965 project..
Drivers are reminded to slow down to the posted speed limit of 30 MPH, use caution and be aware of the ‘S’ shaped curve when approached the temporary bridge. There will be weight restriction on the temporary detour bridge. Vehicles weighing over 88,000 ponds and cranes will be prohibited.
The bridge to be replaced was constructed in 1969.

I really am pleased and thankful that this time the people that it affects the most were warned ahead of time on this news site and on the road itself with the big information signs. Also, the workers are much more amiable than others years ago, when one crew after another were here with no proper warning. Sure is a HUGE improvement from several years ago when the bridges were worked on with no warning and detours were miles out of the way. A big THANK YOU to the road department or whoever is orchestrating all this. Your consideration this time, is VERY much appreciated.
