West Bogia Road Reopening Nears Just Two Weeks After Flood Collapse
June 14, 2026
Two weeks after West Bogia Road at South Century Boulevard collapsed during torrential rainfall and flooding, emergency repairs are almost complete.
On May 31, estimates showed a three-hour rainfall approaching six inches in the McDavid area.
While Highway 29 at West Bogia Road was under several feet of water, West Bogia Road washed away and collapsed at a culvert at the intersection.
The Florida Department of Transportation agreed to make repairs to the county road. The culvert that collapsed had a pipe that was 78 inches (6.5 feet) in diameter and 40 feet long.

By Saturday, June 13, the state had replaced the headwall around a new pipe with new, solid concrete and rebuilt the crossing. Paving had not yet been completed. According to FDOT, the contractor should, weather permitting, reopen West Bogia Road in a few days.
