Next Phase Of Work Begins On I-10, Scenic Highway
June 9, 2015
A milestone is approaching for the Interstate 10/Scenic Highway construction project in Escambia County. The work is widening I-10 from four to six travel lanes between Scenic Highway (Exit 17) and Davis Highway (Exit 13) and expanding the on- and off-ramps to two lanes. Scenic Highway is also being widened to four lanes between the Piper Glenn subdivision and Whisper Way.
Construction crews have completed what will become the new Scenic Highway southbound overpass across I-10. This month, north and southbound traffic will be temporarily shifted to the new structure and associated travel lanes so work can begin to improve the existing overpass and roadway.
Later this month, drivers should also expect a slight traffic shift on the ramps connecting Scenic Highway and Interstate 10. These sections of I-10 and Scenic Highway remain an active construction zone. The speed limit is lowered to 35 mph on Scenic Highway and 60 mph on I-10. Drivers should be alert for the presence of construction workers, vehicles and equipment.
Progress also continues on the sound wall construction for the four-mile stretch of I-10 from Scenic Highway to east of the Davis Highway interchange. Workers are installing foundation posts and concrete sound wall panels and painting them to match the sound walls already in place east of Davis Highway. Sound wall construction is scheduled to continue until spring 2016. Work on the entire project is slated for completion in fall 2016.

When will the Scenic Highway overpass of I-10 be normalized? these orange barrels and reduced lanes have caused huge traffic jams. It seems like this is taking years!
