Construction of the Pensacola Bay Bridge is moving from the navigational channel toward the Pensacola shoreline.

Progress on the Pensacola Bay Bridge continues as the team is driving the remaining piles, placing trophy pieces, installing girders, and pouring the concrete bridge decks for the new westbound (Gulf Breeze to Pensacola) bridge.

The Pensacola Bay Bridge’s Road Ranger Service Patrol is a safety program provided free of charge by the Florida Department of Transportation. Road Rangers are on the job from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily to assist drivers with minor emergencies, clear vehicles following accidents or breakdowns, and help keep the bridge free of debris.

Construction crews have opened the new interchange at 17th Avenue in Pensacola. The interchange is designed to improve safety and enhance mobility at the Pensacola landing of the new bridge.
