Major Traffic Delays To Resume Monday On Highway 97

October 17, 2010

Look for major traffic delays to resume Monday morning on Highway 97.

Crews from Panhandle Grading & Paving will resume laying the top asphalt layer (called a “friction course”) on Highway 97.  Motorists can expect intermittent lane restrictions from the intersection of Highway 29 and Highway 97 north to the Alabama state line.

In about a week, crews will pave the southern end of Highway 97 at Highway 29, causing traffic problems in the intersection. Law enforcement will be on site during the operations in the intersection to help things move as smoothly as possible, according to the Florida Department of Transportation.

    Hopefully the states inspectors will catch the section from the state line down past Greenland. Seems that a lot of us have seen it.

    I agree with Concerned “They need to come back and pave the southbound section of highway from the Alabama line to just past Greenland Road.”

    It is like a dirt road, feels like an old washboard.
