Traffic Switch To New Pensacola Bay Bridge Starts This Evening
September 4, 2019
Traffic should be flowing across the new bridge by Thursday morning.
After scheduling and canceling other dates to switch traffic to the new Pensacola Bay Bridge, the Florida Department of Transportation has announced the switch will happen Wednesday evening.
U.S. 98 eastbound traffic (Pensacola to Gulf Breeze) will be shifted to the new Pensacola Bay Bridge Wednesday evening, September 4 and U.S. 98 westbound (Gulf Breeze to Pensacola) on Sunday, September 8.
From 8 p.m. Wednesday, and. 4 to 6 a.m. Sunday,, 17th Avenue will be closed to through traffic between Gregory Street and the CSX Railroad overpass. Drivers will be detoured using Ninth Avenue and Cervantes Street (U.S. 90). Access to the visitor’s center, boat ramp, and the Pensacola Bay Fishing Pier will be maintained for local traffic via 17th Avenue.
The temporary configuration for the new bridge will provide two lanes of east and two lanes of westbound traffic, along with a center-lane reserved for emergency vehicles. A multiuse path for pedestrians and bicyclists is expected to be operational near the end of 2019.
With all traffic shifted to the new bridge, construction crews will demolish the current bridge, complete the new westbound structure, and reconstruct the 17th Avenue interchange. All work is currently estimated for completion in mid-2021.
The planned construction activities are weather dependent and may be delayed or re-scheduled in the event of inclement weather.
