On September 16, 2020 Skanska failed to secure 20 barges at and around their 3-Mile Bridge job site in Pensacola Bay ahead of the impending Hurricane Sally. Numerous barges made contact with the newly constructed bridge destroying large segments of it, leaving the bridge impassable and unsafe to drive on. This bridge is a crucial economic artery for the Pensacola-Gulf Breeze area; over 55,000 vehicles use the bridge daily.
