“why does the state take over those two ferry
that only the tourist use……….
Those National Seashore boat”

Both were forced up onto their docks by the hurricane, and both were damaged.

why does the state take over those two ferry
that only the tourist use……….
Those National Seashore boat……they
can hold a great of people and the
contactor and pick up the price tag and write
it off this tax…………
GB could build a pier at the foot of the bay bridge
and pensacola could use the docking allready in place.
Can’t anyone use a little common since………….

We can all critize, make negative comments, etc. but we do not have the responsibility of building bridges or even begin to understand the bigger picture!! Yes it will impact us all in some manner…but can’t we work together to make this situation more bearable??…Let’s carpool, hire a bus to take us to the beach for the day and do whatever is needed to help our community!! After all, we are a community comprised of a lot of wonderful, smart and innovative people!!!❤️

Skanska could start some Goodwill repair by jumping into to help City Gulf Breeze prepare a Ferry Boat LandLanding , Passenger ferry service to Pensacola would help their staff and personnel avoid a long daily commute.

Why don’t they focus on building the other side of the new bridge then fix the broken one after. Might be easier and quicker.Just an idea

Having worked for them for over two years the prep sure seems oddly favored . We prepped for storms by pushing the rigs and barges into bayou Chico Everytime. The rigs that wouldn’t fit was took to shallow water in gulf breeze and the 40 ft spuds were pinned into bottom. But the day before the storm the rigs were pinned off in deep water with not enough spud left for the water rise that was coming in . So basically the water rise enough the spuds lost there hold in the bottom and away they went. And all else tied to them went too. We had prepped for storms before and nothing was done even close to the normal procedures. So I believe the prep work was done with the thinking that as soon as it blew thru that they would go right back to work. Some of their so called cost saving measures they have been running for a bit now.

Why didn’t they just build a tall Plain Jane suspension bridge? All the money they spent on this boondoggle in my opinion to doll it up and make it look pretty. With a suspension bridge, you have a lot fewer pilings in the water making it less likely to have impact from barges and ships. Build a mini Sunshine Skyway type of bridge.

Skanska needs to earn back the confidence of this community. And so far, nothing they have said or done since being 6 months behind schedule on elements of this bridge. Too late to fire them??
