Info Meeting Tuesday On Plan To Widen Part Of I-10 To Six Lanes; Reconstruct Nine Mile, Pine Forest Exits
February 4, 2020
The Florida Department of Transportation is looking to widen I-10 from four to six lanes from near the Alabama state line to west of Highway 29 and reconstruct the interchanges at Nine Mile and Pine Forest roads as diverging diamond interchanges.
FDOT will hold a Project Development and Environment Study meeting on Tuesday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Pine Forest United Methodist Church at 2800 Wilde Lake Boulevard. Maps, drawings and other information will be on display at the meeting. FDOT Representatives will be available to discuss the proposed improvements, answer questions, and receive comments.
This project is being developed concurrently with a separate study for the Beulah Road (County Road 99) interchange PD&E Study.

I never for the life of me will understand why Pine Forest road was widened going south to I10 but NOT north to Pine Forest. They did that for hurricane evacuations but all it’s ever done is wreak havoc. If we evacuate, we go North not south and I’ve never evacuated WEST to Alabama from the North end of the county where I live. I’ve gone East and I’ve gone north up 29. It still takes 30 minutes from 9 mile to the interstate in the morning and another 30 minutes in the evening sitting in a neverending grid lock because north bound Pine Forest is still TWO lanes. Add to the fact they built a Marketplace that’s nearly impossible to get in and out of from Pine Forest road, someone that lives on our end of the county needs to have some major rights to decision making of any future planning of the roads we use every day.
Hope Pine Forest Road gets brought up for conversation.
Should be six lanes from MM-0 to I-10 Bridge over Escambia Bay 20 year ago
….
Based on how long it takes to fix roads around here? Why don’t they take all the crews and go finish what they’ve already got tore up before they start another project. They are as bad as me….got 10 things going on and nothing finished!
