萨利飓风’s high winds pushed a barge into Pensacola Bay Bridge between the Pensacola, Fla., mainland and Gulf Breeze, Fla., a barrier island, after the storm came ashore the morning of Sept. 16 in nearby Gulf Shores, Ala., as a Category 2 storm.

Photos showed that a section of the structure, known to locals as Three Mile Bridge, had broken away.

圣罗莎县紧急情况管理人员在社交媒体帖子中写道：“我们收到了一份报告说，三英里桥的一块缺失了。”

“Just know it will be a while before you can use that bridge again,” said Brad Barker, public safety director of Santa Rosa County, in a video posted to the Santa Rosa County Emergency Management’s Facebook page at 1 p.m. eastern on Sept. 16.

其他照片（请参见上文）显示，一架起重机已经落在桥的一端，其东跨架子于去年9月开放。西跨度计划于2021年开放。

后来，该部门报告说，岛上唯一的另一座桥，加尔康角桥，是因为一条松散的驳船靠在那座桥上，因此已经关闭。巴克说，袭击了海湾桥的驳船已经被固定了。

Skanska was the contractor on the Pensacola Bay Bridge, and a story in the彭萨科拉新闻杂志said the barge belonged to Skanska.

“我们意识到影响Pensacola Bay Bridge project stemming from the unforeseen effects of Hurricane Sally,” Skanska said in an emailed statement to ENR. “At this time, our main priority is the safety of our team members and the surrounding community. We remain in close communication with local authorities and the Florida Dept. of Transportation, and will assess the full impact to the project in coordination with them once it is safe to do so.”

Barker told the News Journal that an inspection of the bridge may occur as early as Thursday, Sept. 17.

Emergency managers in Santa Rosa County reported that a new retention pond under construction in Milton had exceeded its capacity. More than 30 in. of rain was reported to have fallen in the county.

“The new Pace Patriot/Tiberon pond that is under construction still lacks critical infrastructure elements and will not function as designed,” the county posted on its official Facebook page. “There is concern that the pond may breach the berm, which will cause a serious and dangerous situation.”

Florida's Gulf Power reports 231,580 customers still without power as of Wednesday night, or just about half of its total users.

Prior to Sally's arrival, the company had assembled a restoration workforce of more than 2,000, said Gulf Power President Marlene Santos in a statement. “Our team has been restoring power since the first bands of severe weather began to hit overnight.”

Alabama Power outage numbers were not immediately available, but wide swaths of the Gulf Coast are currently without power.
