I've always heard this is one of the most unsafest bridges in the State of Florida, structurally. This has been YEARS ago. Does ANYONE know the last time this bridge had any work done? Time to start holding our officials accountable! We go to work & have to do OUR job, they are NO better than we are! No money? We say, FIND IT! Not our problem you wasted it on x, y & z! Thanks Beulah Gal for the Info. They really need to make this info more public. Very thankful no one was hurt.

Tue, 30 Jul 2019 00:18:40 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=370723#comment-394471 It’s been making a loud popping noise for the longest now, I know 2 years plus! I’m just wondering when they’re gonna do maintenance to the whole Bridge? .. I was raised up in Cottage Hill & my daddy would fish that river several times a week & he’s been passed away since 1992 & still nothing has been done. It’s getting scary going back & forth from Pace to Cottage Hill over that thing . Hopefully something will get done soon before something really bad happens. Sherry M.

Drive over it twice a day and yes, IT WILL SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF YOU! No speeding necessary! Uncalled for! I hope they can repair it so it doesn't make such a loud noise. Glad no one was hurt and I hope the county takes care of repairing the vehicle damages. Been noticing it for MONTHS now! Drive over it twice a day and yes, IT WILL SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF YOU!

It was loud and scared me. Anyway, I would like to say that at least a dozen people stopped to ask if I was okay. Also, the first responders were fast and professional. Extra thank you to Officer Ramirez with the FHP! I apologize if I made anyone late!!! Okay, it was me that hit the metal and damaged my work van. It was loud and scared me.

Theye wait until a vehicle gets damaged before they address the problem? Sounds like someone needs to fired. This has been like this for years.
