$6.7 Million, 8.4 Mile Project Begins On Nine Mile Road

December 7, 2012

Construction work is now underway on Nine Mile Road.

Crews from Panhandle Grading and Paving began working on drainage improvements this week.  The 8.4-mile project extends from west of Pine Cone Drive to the Escambia River Bridge and includes resurfacing the roadway, minor drainage and sidewalk improvements, signal improvements, bridge joint repair, guardrail safety upgrades and placement of new signs and pavement markings.

Motorists can expect lane restrictions. To reduce congestion and minimize traffic delays, there will be no lane closures allowed between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.

The $6.7 million transportation improvement project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2013.  Drivers should pay attention and use caution, especially at night, when driving through the work zone, according to the Florida Department of Transportation.

Construction activities are weather dependent and may be delayed or re-scheduled in the event of inclement weather.
