Lane Closures Begin On Highway 97
February 1, 2010
Lane closures began Monday on Highway 97 as a $5.7 million resurfacing project got underway.
The project will begin with a major clearing of the right of way in select locations, according to Shawn Joseph, project administrator for Panhandle Grading and Paving, Inc. All of the lane closures scheduled for the first week of February will be south of Highway 4 and north of Highway 29.
The next major phase of the project will be guardrail replacements, Joseph said.
Once work begins on the actual highway, work crews will restrict traffic to one lane through the work zone. Weather permitting, the project should be completed in September 2010.
“They will maintain accesses to businesses and residences during the process,” according to Tanya Branton, spokesperson for the Florida Department of Transportation.
During the entire 270 day project, NorthEscambia.com will provide the most current Highway 97 lane closure and construction updates to help you avoid delays.
