Construction To Begin At ‘Five Points’ Intersection
July 21, 2012
Construction on a “Five Points” intersection improvement project will begin next week in Pace.
The improvements include realigning Berryhill Road from Ashmore Lane to Chumuckla Highway. The realignment will move the current intersection approximately 500 feet to the north and create a two lane rural roadway section north of Berryhill Road connecting to Chumuckla Highway. Other project features include creation of a new retention pond and widening of the right turn and merge lanes on both Quintette Road and Chumuckla Highway.
Once complete, the project will greatly improve safety and traffic flow to the area, officials said.
The following areas will be construction zones and motorist, bicyclist, and pedestrians should anticipate changing traffic patterns and minor delays:
- Berryhill Road from Ashmore Lane to Chumuckla Highway
- Quintette Road from Pigeon Forge Drive to Chumuckla Highway
- Chumuckla Highway from Ashmore Lane to Quintette Road
- Woodbine Road from Vinewood Lane to Chumuckla Highway
- Vinewood Road from Southgate Drive to Woodbine Road
No lane closures are anticipated and residents and businesses will have full access to their property. Construction is anticipated to be ongoing for approximately nine months.
The Santa Rosa County Board of Commissioners approved the project in January 2011. The project is estimated to cost $1.9 million and will be funded 50 percent, not to exceed $1 million, by the Florida Department of Transportation for construction, engineering and inspection. The county will match 50 percent of project costs.

So I guess this means that 5 points will now be 4 points???
Do you really think the people that make the speed limits up are reading these comments a d if uou say please enough times they’ll change them?
This means cars are actually going 70 in residential areas!
Please Please lower the speed limit on Quintette Road. Pace has grown and we have neighborhoods and houses on Quintette,and the speed limit is 55!! It’s only a matter of time when something bad is going to happen!! Please !
It would be interesting to know the story of the engineer who concocted this nightmare.
This project will inhance the much needed pederstian cross walk installed at 5 points a few months back.
