How dare the Department of Transportation make a decision to replace a bridge built way back in 1945 without first consulting you about it. Woe Is Me Dear Concerned.

And agree with RaD, why not repair the smaller bridge at the same time! Hopefully while they are building a new bridge they will consider making it wider, hate meeting another vehicle on this bridge!

Ridiculous it takes a year to build a 200' bridge. If I remember correctly, the I10 bridge was rebuilt in a year after Ivan. Ridiculous it takes a year to build a 200′ bridge.

This is NOT good for us that live there. I WILL appreciate the non traffic as it's crazy but it's a long way around. Any suggestions to get to Century, Flomaton, Brewton and Pensacola other than the LONGER AND MORE TIME CONSUMING ROADS???? And a WHOLE YEAR. WHO decided to do this????? I live across that bridge.

As far as it taking 330 days, that includes an estimated number of delay days, which rarely agree with reality. I would expect it to be 15 months minimum.
