West Bogia Road Collapse Repairs Are Complete (Well, Almost)
June 29, 2026
West Bogia Road repairs are now complete — except for striping.
Crews paved the roadway last Thursday and Friday, and they will soon return for the striping.
On May 31, an estimated six inches of rain fell in a three-hour window near McDavid. While Highway 29 at West Bogia Road was under several feet of water, the roadway completely washed away and collapsed at a culvert intersection.

The Florida Department of Transportation quickly stepped in to handle the emergency repairs to the county road, replacing the failed 78-inch culvert pipe and rebuilding the crossing with solid concrete headwalls and new base materials.
By mid-June, the road was reopened after most of the repairs were made, but the road could not be paved right way due to daily rainfall.
The emergency repair was made at an estimated cost of $150,000.

Please send the crew that did this repair to work on West Roberts Road and I10.
For around $150,000 this was corrected in just a matter of weeks.
Yet, the Freedom Road bridge in Century is still closed and estimates are at well over $1 million.
Roughly same size situation.
This is why I question that bridge replacement so critically. Aren’t the two situations roughly the same? It’s understandable that all current bridge infrastructure would need to be removed in order to do what was completed at W Bogia Road (where a culvert is obviously in place). But, why a bridge? And look how fast this was repaired!
