Demolition activity is in full swing at the Pensacola Bay Bridge, as contractors work to remove multiple spans damaged by unmoored construction barges during Hurricane Sally last month.
According to the Florida Dept. of Transportation, demolition staffing and equipment resources have been expanded to include five barge-mounted cranes, including two 300-ton units, plus a specialty barge capable of transporting large sections for off-site demolition or delivery to an artificial reef. Two of three barges lodged beneath the structure since the storm have also been removed.
