September 20, 2011
Escambia County will soon award a project to pave a portion of Brickyard Road in Molino.
About 1.6 miles of Brickyard Road will be paved between Molino Road and Brickton Road. About 1.3 miles of the roadway is currently dirt, while the third of mile of the road closest to Molino Road is currently an open graded cold mix that will be resurfaced. The widened road will include 11-foot travel lanes plus a one-foot paved shoulder. The project also includes right of way and drainage work.
Low bidder on the project was Roads, Inc. of NWF at $1,674,183.75. The second lowest bidder was Gulf Atlantic Constructors, Inc. at $1,68,108.06.. The Escambia County Commission is expected to award the resurfacing contract to Roads, Inc. Of NWF at their October 6 meeting.
Once the project begins, it is expected to be substantially completed in 120 days.

Yes! It is good news to know that Brickyard Road will finally be paved. It would be even greater to have the plan include paving of the portion between Brickton and Bamer Holley Road (as shown in the pic) or just beyond that point. The north end of Brickyard Road is also traveled frequently from Barth Road.
I wonder what the cost breakdown looks like, asphalt, aggregate, labor? I would love to see 99A, from Barrineau Park, to state line as smooth as terrazzo.
The MILLION DOLLAR MILE…..
It’s hard to believe it costs over a million dollars to pave a road for just over
a mile and half. It will be interesting to see how long this million dollar
mile holds up.
We should also get to see an accounting of every dollar, after all it is
our money.
rejoice every time they give you a little bit of your money back
it’s been long enough
wishing that pineville rd was paved..guess its not gonna happen in this life time..ohhhhh well!.
Brickton road like so many roads that were paved using the open grade cold mix, have a use life of 5 to 7 years. OGCM was used at that time because of the DEP restrictions for run-off, it was half the cost to do OGCM so more dirts roads were capped with it. But I am sure that the dirt was better? A lot of the remaining dirt roads are not paved because of Right of Way issues.
Why isn’t Brickyard Road being paved from Molino Road to Fairground Road? That portion of the road is used every day because of people going to the “Fairgrounds” to launch their boat or watercraft.
I hope they do a better job than they did on Brickton Rd. It has huge potholes all the way down where the water came through the cold mix. Waste of time and money , if you are gonna pave it , do it right!!
I wished they would pave the other end of Lambert Bridge Rd.
