Quintette Road Resurfacing Progresses

May 10, 2011

In less than a month Santa Rosa County has made real progress on a 5.8 mile resurfacing project on Quintette Road, also known as County Road 184, between Chumuckla Highway (C.R. 197) and the Escambia River Bridge. A pavement surface is now in place over the entire length of the project, which began April 11.

The project cost is expected to be $1.2 million with 75 percent funded by the Florida Department of Transportation through a Small County Outreach Program grant. The county will be responsible for the remaining 25 percent, much of which will be met with in-kind services such as labor, equipment and materials for drainage and shoulder work performed by the Santa Rosa County Road and Bridge Department.

Quintette Road runs from Highway 29 in Escambia County to Chumuckla Highway in Santa Rosa County. It is the only roadway across the Escambia River between Highway 4 in Century and Highway 90 in Pensacola.

    The resurfacing was really needed and it makes for a much more plesant drive. Slow down and enjoy the trip!
    But folks, ya still gotta watch out for deer. Now that deer season is over there are plenty in the area. Saw a beautiful red fox (yes, a RED fox) a few nights ago. He/she crossed the road in front of me and stopped and made that classic pose while watching me. Very healthy looking. Hope he hasn’t been robbing anyones hen house! :-)
