Four Lane Highway 113 Ribbon Cutting Today
November 12, 2008
The ribbon will be cut today opening the newly widened Highway 113 from Flomaton to I-65.
The four lanes on Alabama Highway 113 from Flomaton, Alabama, to I-65 will provide a four lane evacuation route from Highway 29 in Pensacola and North Escambia all the way to the interstate.
The 14 mile widening project broke ground on September 11, 2007. Escambia County, Florida, contributed $4 million to the project. Flomaton and Escambia County, Alabama, each contributed $500,000 with the state of Alabama and the federal government picking up of the rest of the nearly $23 million tab.
NorthEscambia.com recently spoke with Alabama Gov. Bob Riley about the joint Alabama-Florida project to provide a better hurricane evacuation route for both states. Click here to read that exclusive story.
