They'd rather cut taxes to the bone before paying for roads, schools and emergency services. You can think the legislature for the sorry state of the infrastructure.

The bridge located between Palafox and I-110 was replaced in 2005 and the bridge of Bayou Texar between 17th ave and Scenic Hwy was replaced in 2000. The following link provides data as to the location of bridges within Pensacola, when built and their current rating. To see the info, or a street view of each bridge, just click on the locator pin showing on the map. http://www.city-data.com/bridges/bridges-Pensacola-Florida.html#top @Concerned, is there a wooden bridge remaining along Cervantes Street?

This bridge should have been closed years ago. No money to fix it? Where do our tax dollars go? Perhaps expensive jet travel by the Governor? The state can pay millions of dollars a year to football coaches but can't fix bridges. Just shows that politics is all about the politician and not the people.

Using it for what? One end is completely sealed off with concrete barricades. I added another photo to the very bottom of the story.
