WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff has been tapped to design a new bridge in Pensacola, Florida as part of a design-build team led by Skanska. The $398.5 million project is being undertaken on behalf of the Florida Department of Transportation. The plans call for the design and construction of new westbound and eastbound bridges on Route 30 (U.S. 98) to replace the existing 3-mile-long bridge that links the communities of Pensacola and Gulf Breeze. The project also includes shared-use paths on the outside of each bridge, reconstruction of the bridge approaches, and improvements to public facilities in the Gulf Breeze Wayside Park. Construction on the project is expected to begin in the spring of 2017 with completion scheduled for the summer of 2020.
