Work Begins Monday To Six-Lane I-10 From Davis To Scenic

November 8, 2013

Construction will begin next week on a $43.1 million project to widen Interstate 10 to six travel lanes from Davis Highway to the Escambia Bay Bridge and to widen Scenic Highway from Whisper Way to Northpointe Parkway. In addition, construction crews will reconstruct the Scenic Highway overpass.

Other features of the project include the installation of sound walls adjacent to I-10, construction of storm water retention ponds, drainage improvements and new highway lighting. The project is slated for completion in fall 2016.

During construction drivers will encounter overnight lane restrictions on both Interstate 10 and Scenic Highway. Lane closures on I-10 will be limited to 7 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., while Scenic Highway lane closures will occur between 8:30 p.m. and 8 a.m. Access to businesses and other private property along Scenic Highway will be maintained at all times.

Maintenance activities are weather dependent and may be rescheduled. Motorists are reminded to travel with care through the work zone and to watch for construction equipment and workers entering and exiting the roadway.
