Why doesn't FLDOT want to work on them. I talked with Comm. Steven Berry's secretary and see just says they are working with FLDOT to get these issues resolved. I don't see any progress. The Molino Rd bridge has been closed since January and still it isn't open. I talk to a contractor working for FLDOT and they said it's because it takes time for the concrete to cure. I did some reading up on that..It takes exactly 1 month for concrete over water to cure. SO, when I go down and look at this 4-6' span of a bridge and only see 2 people working on it, if anyone at all; you got to ask WHY ISN'T FLDOT WORKING HARDER TO GET THESE BRIDGES FIXED!!!!. It should have taken only 3-4 months at the max to fix this bridge. WHAT"S GOING ON COM. STEVEN BERRY???? Yet another bridge closed in Northern Escambia county.

There are several other ways in and out of that area. Maybe then, the work would get completed faster.

I mean seriously did they go on a long vacation. We let them use some of our land to stock pile some of their stuff.
