ALERT – Highway 97 Open, Highway 29 Open

[Update 1:30 pm.} Roadways in the North Escambia are once again open.

Highway 97 and Highway 29 are both open. There is some ice remaining on the northbound Canoe Creek Bridge at last report. The Highway 4 bridge between Century and Jay is also open with some ice.

There are no specific openings or closures on the county roads in North Escambia. However, there is ice on some less traveled road and ice on many county road bridges as of 1:30 p.m.
