I have heard that it is walk on only... scheduled to open sometime this month.
I work Pensacola Beach but have to travel to Pensacola regularly, thus I have watched the construction from day one. Can't say that I have seen any lighting underneath... and honestly... the Fish and Wildlife folks have gotten more and more strict on lighting as the years go on... thus I would guess no.
Crazy... but you cannot find any information online!

Im thinking it might be drive on. Not sure though. There is a turn about at the end. Hopefully it will be drive on.

Well I just spoke with Keith Wilkins' office at the County (not a City bridge, but County).
They can't provide an opening date, they simply know that it will be mid to late January. A press release will be issued announcing the opening... to show up in the PNJ and on myescambia.com site
The lady on the phone indicated that she had heard it would be a drive on fishing bridge.
They have not set any rates at this time, but indicated that the first month or so would be a minimal fee until the "official" rates are in place.
And I see the other post that YES there are lights underneath.
Hope that helps.

Response to an email sent to the Escambia Co Parks Dept:Thanks for your interest. The bridge will open very soon. We are finalizing some last details. Please contact our office at 850-475-5220 early next week as we should have some official information on the opening. Not far off at all. Michael Rhodes Recreation Manager

I cannot wait for it to open back up! I fished the bridge since I was little, and even worked at the bridge store (my first job). I even had the pleasure of meeting Dave (Pier#r) out there for some sheepshead many years ago along with John Soule. I will def. be out there A LOT.

From everyone I've talked to at both the country and city the bridge is going to open mid to late January like stated above. It will be a drive on bridge and when first opened there will be no store/concession. At the moment the county is in control of the bridge and the city is in control of the building at the foot, although the plan is for it to be leased as one entity in the future.
