Construction Underway On Gas Pipeline From Century To Nine Mile Road

July 6, 2017

An underground natural gas pipeline is now under construction through North Escambia from Century to Nine Mile Road.

The Florida Public Utilities pipeline will interconnect to an existing pipeline and begin on Fannie Road just northeast of Century on the Alabama/Florida state line. The pipeline will follow Fannie Road to Old Flomaton Road to State Road 4 to North Century Boulevard.

The 12-inch gas pipeline will continue south along the right-of-way of Highway 29 from Century to Old Chemstrand Road. From there, an eight-inch line will follow Old Chemstrand road to Ascend, while another eight-inch line will continue south on Highway 29 to Highway 95A in Cantonment to West Roberts Road to Pine Forest Road to West Nine Mile Road where the project will connect to an existing gas system.

The pipeline will be constructed on existing right of way, mostly in ditches, along Highway 29 and other roadways.  Work is expected to be complete in early 2018.

    Today they were installing section of the pipe along Hwy 95a between Kingsfield Rd and East Robert Road. Traffic reduced to one lane in the work zone.

    >>That’s FLDOT for ya…. Start yet another project and leave the bridges alone.

    FDOT has nothing to do with this construction of this project (other than any permitting).
