Approaching the FL side of the bridge. The emergency lanes didn't used to be part of this kind of bridge, but now there is enough room to pull over a stalled car and even to change a flat. Formerly, a stalled car was a real traffic hazard because it blocked lanes.

-
Yes, I took this from my car. Not the best photo, but the shoulder of this bridge is narrow and I didn't want to get out in the lanes.
-
From the Pensacola side, the hump in the middle is seen. It allows barge and boat traffic to cross into Escambia Bay to the North. Riprap, seen in the foreground normally works by absorbing the impact of a wave before the wave reaches the cliff or sea defense, and so minimizes the erosion caused by the wave
-
Heading east over the bridge. Emergency lanes were added several years ago.
-
The bridge has a hump in the middle to allow boat and barge traffic to pass under.
-
Looking down the hump towards the east at the city of Gulf Breeze. The old bridge sections can be seen at left. That was the bridge that crossed the bay previous to the new bridge. It was used for fishing until Hurricane Ivan took portions of it down. The isolated sections are being brought down one by one.
