Update: Pavement Down In Muscogee Road Project
February 22, 2018
The roadway was paved this week in a widening and drainage improvement project on Muscogee Road from Highway 297A to the Perdido River.
Muscogee Road was closed from Beulah Road to Carlisle Road in late September for the installation of a water main, reconstruction of a portion of the roadway, and construction of 5-foot shoulders. Traffic has been detoured via Highway 29 and Barrineau Park Road to Highway 112 in Alabama.
The roadway is not yet open, but it is expected to reopen soon.
There are still three phases to come in the overall project:
Perdido River to Beulah
- 90% Design under review
- Easements needed from Water Management District; request pending design completion
- Design Completion pending construction funding
Carlisle to 97
- 60% Design
- Letters were mailed to residents requesting participation in property donations for right-of-way
- Staff is following up with residents for participation
97 to Nowak

Can’t wait to drive on that new strip of road. Kingsfield Road is dangerous and not safe at night at all. Hope this one last longer than Beulah Road has.
Hopefully, at last, that 1/2 mile or so of 297A will stay fixed after 8 long months of a proper fix.
Takes a while to dig down and address those soft spots deep underground. In years past, log trucks and garbage trucks could quickly tear up that section because of deep gooey clay that had to be dug up and removed to build a proper foundation that would pass a compaction test. Underground springs had to be addressed.
I was told the end of March if we have good weather. I commute three round trips a week to Beulah. We are so over the rough West Kingsfield Rd detour…and I’m SURE those residents are weary of all the extra traffic in their quiet residential street. It cannot be soon enough.

Oh good, a month late already and still not finished. I love all the extra time this construction adds to my commute. It’s not inconvenient at all.
This 120 day project now 3 weeks past due. 4 months to pave a mile ?
Well……guess Rome wasn’t built in a day ! I’m wondering how many days
