County Claims Several Dirt Roads Near Century For Maintenance
April 25, 2013
Escambia County is officially taking over the maintenance of several dirt roads that are located east of Century and west of Old Escambia Creek.
The Escambia County Commission has approved maintenance maps , for a portion of Campbell Road (approximately 1,935 feet in length), Flossie Road (approximately 1,000 feet in length), Old Ferry Road (approximately 1,550 feet in length), Hagan Road (approximately 390 feet in length), and Boat Ramp Road (approximately 240 feet in length). The commission also approved continuing to maintain the roads on which the county does not have a deeded right-of-way.
By maintaining the road for more than seven years, the county is able to assert ownership of certain rights-of-way under Florida Law.
None of the roadways are in the Century town limits.

The county DOES own the roads that I mentioned earlier……… even if they didn’t…….. they could claim Imminent Domain for the right of way to get this done……….. I have very reliable sources close to both the county as well as the company greasing the office holders in the county to keep this from happening………. looking into a class action to have some vehicles repaired or replaced due to the county’s neglect.
You should be happy the County has claimed these roads after many years of maintenance. The only way your road will ever get paved by the County is if they own it. You should probably contact them to see if you need to deed your Right-Of-Way to them, and then everyting will be in order for future paving.
A lot of these dirt roads cost the County more to maintain with adding and moving dirt than to just pave it! Be informed and get involved!
Whoa there. We know they only pave roads when it’s close to election time. That’s the final “win-them-over” election strategy. If they pave them now, the citizens votes may actually look like they counted for once in Florida.
Just hold off, they will be paved in due time.
Can we get them paved please!!!
