Regional Bridge Evaluation Study |

| Sponsors: |
Clary, Peaden |
| |
| Statewide Interest: |
| The State of Florida Department of Transportation is about to embark upon the replacement of the functionally obsolete Pensacola Bay Bridge with federal bridge replacement funds for approximately $250 million. While this appears to be a benefit to local and statewide drivers and taxpayers, a replacement bridge six (6) lanes wide in the current location will cause untold statewide and local costs as appurtenant and adjoining facilities would need to be upgraded. Bridge replacement funds would not be available for these costs.
