Comments on: Bratt Road Bridge Closed Almost Nine Months With No Work http://www.northescambia.com/2018/09/bratt-road-bridge-closed-almost-nine-months-with-no-work Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Thu, 09 Apr 2026 15:18:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Scott http://www.northescambia.com/2018/09/bratt-road-bridge-closed-almost-nine-months-with-no-work/comment-page-1#comment-373743 Scott Sun, 23 Sep 2018 13:16:36 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=334135#comment-373743 A pathetic example of Gov't squabbling. While the State and the County point fingers at each other, NOTHING gets done, and the Taxpaying citizen pays the price. At the Next election, ALL sitting politicians need to GO! IF we are going to be represented in Gov't, let it be by someone with the citizen' best interest in mind, NOT someone unwilling to actually DO the job. BUILD this Bridge, and, get it done NOW!

What a tool. No to that! Get the dollars up here..all the way to the line. and to top it off you have the D2 commissioner wanting to lose the state road designation and put it on the county so he can plant palm trees and junk with our dollars and on a barrier island no less.

For instance the newly done bridge on Hwy 99 (Pine Barren Creek) short of Oak Grove Church has some very noticeable turns right before you cross it and right after it. The newly done bridge looks very demanding before crossing it compared to before. I to am concerned with the quality of some of the work done on our local bridges.

It’s just the FUBAR way they do things. I hear you, Citizen, but bear in mind that 9 Mile Rd has been barreled off for how long with no progress? It’s just the FUBAR way they do things.

How are these prioritized and funded? Seem odd they wait for failed inspections then close them for over nine months, not like it was a surprise. http://www.northescambia.com/2011/09/in-depth-most-north-escambia-bridges-are-wooden-50-need-replacing found this old article from 2011.
