The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will host a public information open house Tuesday, March 21, regarding the State Road (S.R.) 30 (U.S. 98) Pensacola Bay Bridge replacement project. The $398.5 million project will construct a new bridge across Pensacola Bay in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. The new bridge will consist of two structures, one for eastbound and one for westbound traffic. Each structure will accommodate three 12-foot travel lanes, ten-foot inside and outside shoulders, and a 10-foot multi-use path for pedestrians and bicyclists. Work is scheduled to begin in March 2017 with completion currently slated for summer 2020. Maps, drawings and other information will be on display. There will be no formal presentation; however, representatives from FDOT will be available to discuss the project plans, answer questions, and receive comments. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, religion, disability or family status.
