Construction Delays: Nine Mile Road; I-10 At Scenic Highway

August 10, 2015

Drivers can expect delays this week on Nine Mile Road at Heritage Oaks Drive and on I-10 at the Scenic Highway overpass.

Nine Mile Road westbound traffic west of I-10, near Heritage Oaks Drive (at Navy Federal), will encounter lane closures from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday, Aug. 10 through Friday, Aug. 14 as crews perform construction activities.

Demolition and reconstruction of the existing Scenic Highway overpass on I-10 continues. The work will require the following traffic impacts beginning Monday, Aug. 10:

  • I-10 eastbound traffic near U.S. 90 (Scenic Highway) will be shifted to the south near the overpass until the end of 2015. The speed limit will be reduced to 60 mph.
  • I-10 westbound near the Scenic Highway overpass and the Scenic Highway on-ramp to I-10 will be intermittently closed from 8 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. each night for approximately three weeks.

Drivers are reminded by the Florida Department of Transportation to use caution, especially at night, when traveling through a work zone.  All planned construction activities are weather dependent and may be re-scheduled in the event of inclement weather.

    They are a little hard to see in the photos, but those new lamp post lights on the new Scenic Highway bridge over I-10, when seen up close, are pretty snazzy looking & very attractive!
