Projects Over $100 Million: Replacement of (SR-8) I-10 Bridges over
Escambia Bay
This award recognizes the Florida DOT for successfully partnering with utility companies to relocate or adjust their facilities in advance of the fast-track design-build project to replace the I-10 bridges over Escambia Bay in the western panhandle of Florida. This bridge over Escambia Bay, located in Florida, was severely damaged by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004. In April 2005, the Florida DOT awarded a $245 million design-build contract to construct a new bridge over this three mile Bay. The utilities facilities were relocated within six months of the project notification, reducing the project's cost and construction time.
