Hurricane Ivan, in 2004, destroyed the both east and west bound twin bridges over Escambia bay. Two replacement bridges were designed and constructed even higher and better than before and the whole project designed and completed in a little over 2 1/2 yrs. Why do people have to detour almost a year for such a small span? 225 ft vs 2 spans of over 2 miles over deep water. Get all the construction material staged, don't close the span until the day before you are ready to start...then Git 'Er Done! I'm not an engineer, or a construction manager so very curious as to why it takes such a large amount of time and inconvenience to tax payers? Anyone know?
