Residents Invited To Brickyard Road Improvement Public Meeting

June 19, 2012

The Florida Department of Transportation will hold a public information meeting Thursday regarding proposed improvements to Brickyard Road over an unnamed branch.

The project involves replacing an existing bridge on Brickyard Road, repaving the approaches, new guardrail, minor drainage improvements, sodding and placement of new pavement markings. The project is approximately 700 feet in length with construction scheduled to begin in the summer of 2014. During construction, the roadway will be closed and traffic diverted. Additional right-of-way will be required for the bridge and roadway improvements.

The public meeting will be held Thursday from 5:30 until 6:30 p.m. at Highland Baptist Church at 6240 Highway 95A in Molino.

Representatives from FDOT will be available to explain the proposed improvements and answer questions.

    It is very busy during the commute rush hour from Barth to Molino. Are they putting in a carpool lane as well?

    REGARDING:
    “Oh and I like how the map lists HWY 29 as N Century Blvd…”

    You’re right.
    It shouldn’t.

    As best I remember Century Boulevard runs between Pine Barren Creek and the Florida State line. The dividing line between North Century Blvd and South Century Blvd is Highway 164 in McDavid.

    I remember a lady in McDavid who was very irritated at the time of the naming since she didn’t want to be associated with Century. (Not everybody loves Century as much as I do.) Perhaps it SHOULD be renamed McDavid Boulevard with Highway 164 dividing the north and south portions. Or perhaps it just doesn’t matter.

    David for good roads
    however named

    Although this road my not be traveled as much as others in the area, it is a well traveled road. There ARE a few residences on this road.

    Does that road have the traffic warranted for the money being used to do all that work? If not, why not use the money in heavier traveled areas in Molino? I’ve lived here for many many years and always knew Brick Yard Road as a low traveled back road to Barth…
