@Chris
The point of my post was to let you know when you chase someone down in your vehicle they may see you as a threat and won’t give you a chance to explain. I would hate to see you killed before you had a chance to explain. All I ask is that you be careful and please don’t put yourself in a bad situation.

if you notice in the picture there is no work being done which is the case most of the time when I go that way and that is why it takes so long.

I live onSunshine Hill Rd. It is a narrow Rd. with 3–4 hidden driveways.Speed Limit is 35 mph This means about 50 mph average.There are kids & dogs & a few walkers.They take their life in their hands.Could we have Temp. speed bumps? I know they have a rubber bolt down type. Just till they finish bridge.Or Policeman with speeder spikes ? Big logging trucks & 10-15 dunp trucks a day.People are angry about bridge-out, so they speed to get where they are going.Limited sight curve & hill. Please slow down.Almost as bad on Crabtree Church Rd.

@fisherman—- We’re not just talking about a speeding vehicle, we’re talking about a speeding vehicle who almost hit my wife trying to turn into our driveway. A vehicle who didn’t even brake, just let off the gas, then floors it like they were mad they had to let off the gas to start with. Once, a woman hit a neighbor’s dog right in front of the kids, put on her brakes like she was gonna stop but kept going. Run her down too, got tag # and paid for address and surveiled her place to see if she had a dog. That’s all I’ll say. But stupid, maybe, but well prepared for whatever.

@Chris
(more than once I’ve gotten in my truck, ran em down, and made sure we had an understanding.)
You sir are one lucky individual to run down speeders and have an understanding with them. Stick your head in and get it blown off. When you chase down another driver you put your life in danger of being killed over a speeding vehicle. Stupid!!!!!

Thank you so much, North Escambia, for this article.. I do not think that people this far out matter much to those in charge. Or, so it seems. Wish they would let people know what is going on. It’s nice to know why sometimes.

Yet, how many years are they going to take to replace the Bay Bridge to Gulf Breeze?

Ha ha ha, I absolutely LOVE IT ! I live just east of the bridge and am very thankful all of the racecar drivers from little cars to log trucks aren’t flying by my home anymore. For the very few “normal” drivers out there, I’m sorry for your inconvenience. More than once my wife has almost been hit trying to turn into the driveway by racecar wannabes flying over the hill, and more than once I’ve gotten in my truck, ran em down, and made sure we had an understanding. Fortunately for me I’ve never had the law involved. Then again, I never call the law to handle MY business so I guess karma worked for me.
At any rate, what are residents complaining about more signage for ? If your a resident and know the bridge is being worked on, you shouldn’t need signs. Maybe it’s just the Yankee yuppie folks who have nothing better to do than try to make “progress” for those of us that don’t want it.

I talked to a friend who builds bridges and he said he didn’t know why it would take that long to rebuild that bridge. He even went to the site.
