August 9, 2014

The eastbound I-10 ramp to southbound Highway 29 in Escambia County will be closed from 10 p.m. Sunday, August  10 to 6 a.m.  Monday, August 11 as crews mill and resurface the roadway.  Motorists will be directed to use the northbound Highway 29 ramp during the temporary closure.

The outside eastbound lane of I-10 at Highway 29 will be closed from 10 p.m. Monday, August 11 to 5 a.m. Tuesday, August 12 as crews pave the outside shoulder.

The work is part of an I-10 resurfacing project which extends from Highway 29 to east of Palafox Street. The project also includes the milling and resurfacing of all ramps and ramp shoulders associated with the Highway 29/I-10 interchange, shoulder widening, guardrail upgrades, crash cushion replacement, removal of portable traffic monitoring sites (PTMS), installation of new signs, pavement markings, and sodding.

During construction drivers will encounter overnight lane restrictions on both I-10 and the Highway 29/ I-10 interchange. Lane closures on I-10 and intermittent closures or restrictions on the interchange will be limited to 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

All planned construction activities are weather dependent and may be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather
