Nine Mile Road Emergency Repairs Rescheduled

August 26, 2014

Emergency repairs on Nine Mile Road (Hwy 90)between the Escambia River Bridge and Scenic Highway in Escambia County have been rescheduled to a later date. All lanes will open to traffic as Florida Department of Transportation personnel reevaluate the construction project in order to reduce traffic impacts and minimize delays.

Construction began Monday to repair the westbound outside, right lane and shoulder that was damaged by heavy rains and flooding in the area in April 2014.  Temporary safety measures have been put in place until permanent repairs can be completed. Construction crews will still be on site conducting secondary repairs off of the roadway that will not impact the traveling public.

    I hope the folks who made the decision to close that lane on the second day of classes at UWF got clued in on things. They had all summer to repair the road, why wait until it got busy again?
