Main bridge (1960) became unusable after Ivan (2004) - article needs improvement[edit]

I ran across this post which covers damage by storm surge. Go down to the comment by Dennis Mersereau on 8/24/2015 at 5:44 pm (you will have to load more comments about 3 times) & there is a photograph showing "sections of the Pensacola Bay Bridge [that had been] lifted right up and tossed into the water". This particular failure is noteworthy enough that it should be added to the Wikipedia article. At present, the article only mentions damage to the 1931 bridge (in use as fishing piers), which didn't close a major route to traffic, as damage to the 1960 bridge did.

The article on Hurricane Ivan mentions damage to another bridge a few miles away, and a third bridge. It doesn't mention the Pensacola Bay bridge. But for the present article, the Ivan coverage is seriously inadequate. Oaklandguy (talk) 05:38, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
