Three Mile Bridge Walking, Cycling Pathway Now Open To The Public
August 18, 2020
The multi-use path along the Pensacola Bay Bridge is now open, allowing people to walk, run or cycle between Pensacola and Gulf Breeze.
Pensacola Mayor Grover Robinson, Gulf Breeze Mayor Cherry Fitch and Senator Doug Broxson took part in the opening Monday.
“This is going to be a true asset in our community, not only providing additional connectivity between Pensacola and Gulf Breeze, but also giving us new opportunities to enjoy incredible views of Pensacola Bay,” Robinson said.
A second walkway will be built along the second span of the bridge, which is currently under construction.

What is incline angle of Pensacola bay bridge as you go up to peak? Want set by treadmill to get ready to walk
Can you ride an e-bike across?
How do you get there?? From gulf Breeze side only? Tried looking for it on pensacola side and found the old entrance.
Are there benches in the areas that bulge out along the path?
If so, are there not supposed to be shades placed over these benches in these areas?
Rode the path this morning.
Saw several single speed cruiser type bicycles. We had 7spd cruisers and shifted to 1st gear to get to the top.
Not a problem for 67 year old codgers.
Just get off and walk it up, but hang on for the ride down!!
Traffic is very noisy so if you have ear plugs, consider wearing them. Bring a couple bottles of water.
Good place to park vehicle is the Wall South Military memorial Park and cross the road over to sidewalk to ride and access the Bay Bridge walkway.
The walkway is plenty wide for passing and has a divided line.
Live a litlle,
Be a gypsy,
Get around!
Get your feet up off the ground,
Live a little,
Get around!

The incline of the 3 mile bridge is most likely to be too steep for a single speed bike. However with determination and a lot of effort, I believe it could be done.
I wonder if selfies atop the arch will become a thing??
Is this path ridable for singlespeed bikes ? Or is the uphill too steep?
