Escambia County, FL (Newsradio 92.3) -- Work continues on the Bob Sikes Fishing Pier on Pensacola Beach -- officials say it could be complete by the end of next year. Escambia County says they want to make the pier safer for fishermen and fix infrastructure problems like a missing pile, corroded railings, and cracked beams. Most of the existing pier will be fixed, but around 100 feet of the pier will be removed. County officials are planning to hold a public presentation on the project as soon as next month. Officials plan to fund the work with RESTORE oil spill and NRDA grants.
