Resurfacing, Widening Projects To Begin On Hwy 99, Barrineau Park Road
September 8, 2015
Work is set to begin this month to widen and resurface several miles of County Road 99 and Barrineau Park Road.
One project will widen and resurface Highway 99 from Barrineau Park Road north to Highway 97A in Bay Springs. The contractor, Panhandle Grading and Paving, will add paved shoulders and widen the road to 11-foot lanes. The project will be submitted to the Federal Highway Administration Agency (FHWA) for reimbursement at an estimated project construction cost of $2.87 million. Work is expected to be completed by November 2016.
The second project will widen and resurface Barrineau Park Road from Highway 99 to Jacks Branch Road. Panhandle Grading and Paving will add paved shoulders and widen the road to 12-foot lanes. Escambia County will also seek reimbursement for $1.2 million. Work is expected to continue through November 2016.
Both projects will include other work typically association with resurfacing and widening, including drainage, sodding and pavement striping. The contractor will work to minimize interruption for area residents, and an Escambia County inspector will monitor the construction areas daily.
Work on both projects will take place 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

I thought this project was suppose to start in September and here we are half way through October. Any word on what might be going on?
I live right down the street from that curve the are fixing to do something over here sign and flags r going up so I have had my property since 93 and up till the made the road wider I never had no one in my yard. After the widened the road I have ha 2 cars come through my yard. It’s like a loosing battle they need to slow down and stay in their lane
William, any idea why they would make CR99 a foot narrower than Barrineau Park Road?
I wondered why they never finished the part around that curve either.
What happened to the project to finish county 97 from where they left off ,on around that dangerous curve to the intersection of 297?
