The bridge just looks cheaply designed and made to me anyway! The supports are small looking and too far apart, the roadbed looks thinner than it should be, and just o prove it look how easy it crumbled and broke apart. should have left the old well built span there for a backup, it probably would have outlasted the new cheap one by twenty years.

Gulf Breeze and Pensacola residents need answers. Their daily lives are substantially impacted.

Bridges should last 100 years. Our bridge broke apart in less than 1 year.

Local and state authorities may be doing a very good job. However, we need to ask for additional contracting of an engineering/construction company specializing in Bridge Design and Constructions from New York or California.

1. Was the old bridge beyond repair? Never saw any repairs in last 8 years.

2. Why was the old bridge removed so quickly?

3. Was the new bridge designed for hurricane category 4 conditions? If it was, should it not have been able to withstand the impact of the barge and crane?

4. The bridge after repairs must be stamped by the outside specialist engineering company.

I am sure the issue of responsibilities and costs will be resolved through appropriate legal means. We as Gulf Breeze and Pensacola residents need complete assurance that the bridge after repair will withstand forces of next hurricane and next. We are in that zone.

How about Skanska providing ferry transportation?

People, while time is an issue I would be more worried about structural integrity, the faster you go more mistakes are made it’s better to be sure it’s done correctly and then it will last for decades, not collapse 90 days after they finished it because it was rushed just saying!

I see a class action suit with all of the residents of Gulf Breeze, as well as Pensacola residents having to travel to Gulf Breeze to work every day.I’m not one of those people, however, if I was, I would be leading the fight.

Yea, i doubt it. 9-12 months would be my bet. At least it’s after summer but still, the beach and gulf breeze businesses are going to be hurting.

Barge Controls? Why do these keep happening? How about some restrictions? Like Daylight operation only. Bad weather No Go. With “Maximum” plus insurance requirements. Required equipment securement procedures.

When does the clock start?

I’m still betting “over”.
