Highway 29 And Nine Mile Closure Canceled
April 9, 2018
This closure has been canceled. No further information is available.
Highway 29 and Nine Mile Road will be closed at the Highway 29 overpass from 8 p.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday as crews pour the center portion of the new bridge deck. Traffic control officers will be on site to help direct traffic.
- Highway 29 north and southbound will be reduced to one lane and detoured onto the Nine Mile Road on and off-ramps.
- Eastbound Nine Mile Road traffic will be reduced to one lane, detoured to Highway 29 southbound, and U-turn at West Hood Drive to return to Nine Mile Road. Westbound traffic will perform the same operation at West 9 1/2 Mile Road.
- Highway 29 traffic between Interstate 10 and 9 1/2 Mile Road may experience alternating lane closures as crews continue drainage and paving operations.
Construction activities are weather dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. Drivers should use caution, especially at night, when traveling through the work zone, and watch for construction workers and equipment entering and exiting the roadway, according to FDOT.

Jim, you’re just ignorant of the facts.
Ya’ll just wait until you see what they do AFTER they open the new bridge over 9 mile rd. tee hee….
I agree, there is no way this project should take FIVE years to complete.
Not to mention, the 3-lane portion should have been extended to Muskogee or Kingsfield at a minimum. This is like putting a band aid on an amputated finger, it will help for a minute but it’s not going to fix the problem.
That’s my bedtime, no problem.
Jim, the road builder in Atlanta was a multi-billion dollar heavy civil engineering/contractor out of Omaha, NE. On top of having a lot of resources at their disposal the locals here do not; they were also paid some pretty significant bonuses which allowed them to throw even more resources at the project. They were the same group that reopened west bound I-10/Pensacola over Escambia Bay in 29 days following Ivan.
I just want to know why? Why has the project of HWY 29 from I-10 to Nine Mile road been going on for so long?
A year ago in Atlanta, a major HWY bridge on I-85 collapsed and the road crews there said it would take 6 months to rebuild an 8 lane HWY bridge. It took 3 months and the Interstate was back to full service use.
But not in Pensacola! No…. This project has been going on for nearly two and a half years and they aren’t anywhere near complete with the road or the bridge!!! Milking local tax dollars I guess…
