WEAR ABC 3 : Dept. of Transportation: Three Mile Bridge Is "Structurally Deficient"

WEAR ABC 3 :: Top Stories: "ESCAMBIA COUNTY - It's one of the area's busiest bridges, and it may be unsafe.

The Pensacola Bay Bridge, or the 'Three Mile Bridge,' as most people know it, has connected Pensacola and Gulf Breeze for 50 years.

But now, the state is calling the bridge structurally deficient. The pilings are chipping and eroding, which is leading the Department of Transportation to say it needs to be replaced in the next six years.

But some drivers we talked with say six years isn't soon enough."
