This is easy to answer;
EVERY ROAD IN PENSACOLA! I personally think its ridiculous at how many roads in such a close proximity of each other, are being worked on. Traffic is absolutely ridiculous on 9 mile road, hwy 29, and all around those areas. Do one at the time and maybe it can get completed quicker. I see accidents almost daily on my way home-caused by the congested traffic and the horrible construction sites.Hwy 29 South is an absolute nightmare…its like going thru a maze! Somebody at the top really needed to think this through a little better.
