Resurfacing, Widening Projects Continue On Hwy 99, Barrineau Park Road
June 27, 2016
Projects are now 70 to 80 percent complete to widen and resurface several miles of County Road 99 and Barrineau Park Road.
Work is 70 percent complete on a project to widen and resurface seven miles of Highway 99 from Barrineau Park Road north to Highway 97A in Bay Springs, according to Escambia County. Construction on the project began in October 2015, with the contractor currently still working to widen the highway and install driveway pipes by early July. The roadway will be resurfaced by September . Following striping and sign installation, the project should be completed by October.
The Highway 99 project will be submitted to the Federal Highway Administration Agency (FHWA) for reimbursement at an estimated project construction cost of $2.87 million.
The Barrineau Park Road project includes widening the existing travel lanes to 11 feet wide, adding four foot paved shoulders, upgrading guardrails and minor drainage improvements.
Barrineau Park Road is about 80 percent completed. Shoulder widening is currently underway and is scheduled to be completed by the end of July. After the widening, the entire roadway will be resurfaced by the end of September. Following striping and signage, the project should be completed in October.
In addition to the two county projects, the Florida Department of Transportation upgraded the railroad crossing on Highway 99 south Highway 97A.

I wish they would come clean the concrete/black plastic out of my ditch so I can mow. My ditches are looking horrible but I am not going to clean up their mess. I feel like they left it half completed before they moved down the road.
