Barrineau Park Road Widening, Resurfacing Project Underway
August 3, 2010
A nearly $1.2 million project to widen and resurface a portion of Barrineau Park Road is now underway.
The $1,193,868.75 project was awarded in June to low bidder Roads, Inc. of NWF. Barrineau Park Road will be both widened and resurfaced from the Penasula Creek Bridge east to Highway 29. The project will also include culvert extensions and guardrail improvements. The improvements will be funded with Local Option Sales Tax funds.
Roads, Inc. will be required to keep two-way traffic open during all non-working hours and close one lane at a time during working hours.
Three other companies bid on the project: APAC Mid-South, Inc. at $1,330,480.91; Panhandle Grading and Paving at $1,417,775.67; and Gulf Atlantic Constructors, Inc. at $1,549,062.05.

William, If you get a chance to interview any of the county officials, would ask them about hwy 99 for us? I am glad to see them working on these narrow roads, but they are stopping short. Does a county commisioner live on that section of Barrineau Park Road? Just curious as to why only a section of it is being repaired.
PLEASE! Send some of that money to S. Hwy. 99. This road is not only in terrible condition but so narrow that it’s a danger to anyone driving on it. It sees lots of traffic and has never, to my knowledge had much work done on it.
Glad to see our tax dollars at work in the north end!!
well, its about time. that road would jar you to pieces every time you came to a colvert and if you meet a logging truck or dump truck, you had to near about get off to road when you met them. yeah, this waas good news for me because i live on this road abd for the safety of all those that travel it, you know what i mean.
What about 99, I see it is overlooked yet again.
I appreciate that they are moving forward with this work, long overdue. I would like an explanation as to why it stopped at Penasula Creek bridge. There are two other dangerous curves between there and Hwy 99 that people frequently cross the center line, mirrors hit, fortunately there have not been any deaths that I am aware of. I have had to leave the road several times due to buses, 18 Wheelers and other vehicles making these curves while crossing the center line. It is difficult to safely pull a trailer of any sort down this road.
Oh, yea! This is one of those roads in dire need of widening. I toted a car trailer down this road and had a tire on each painted line at the same time.
Need to put the option sales tax to work on Stout Rd, Need some drainage, and resurface the road! Keep up the good work!!!
