- Abstract
A structurally deficient bridge on a hurricane evacuation route needed complete replacement. The new Pensacola Bay Bridge provides increased traffic capacity, including lanes for recreational pedestrian and bicycle transportation. The Florida Department of Transportation selected a design-build procurement and emphasized the overall structure type and aesthetics in the corridor by seeking a signature bridge and additional pedestrian features that enhance the user's experience. A primary project goal was the removal of the existing bridge in service due to deterioration and the constant need for repairs. This is the largest single transportation project in northwest Florida.
