Nine Mile, Pine Forest Traffic Light To Be Moved. It’s In The Wrong Spot By A Few Feet.
June 1, 2020
The previously existing traffic signal on the northwest corner of Pine Forest and Nine Mile Road may be long enough to reach across the future westbound lanes, but it’s in the wrong spot. The Florida Department of Transportation said it will be removed, and a new one installed a few feet away to accommodate the utility, drainage, pedestrian, and roadway upgrades taking place on this corner.

Role your eyes jason. Funny how I see other road projects in other counties and states that get finished in a reasonable time frame. You must not live in beulah and have to drive thru it everyday. And while your ruling your eyes how long has olive rd been destroyed?
Jason, your comment is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR!!!!! People want things done and then complain until they are complete.
Quit complaining and be grateful that it’s even getting done. Yes Escambia county takes forever to finish a.road project but still be grateful
Please correct the problem of single lane traffic Detroit to Nine Mile. With growth it is terrible to travel
Mean while, Pine Forest stays a single lane from Detroit to nine mile. GREAT PLANNING
If it was “only paving” that needed to be done. It was so much more – like, tree and vegetation removal, relocation of utilities to include water lines, sewer lines, Power poles, electric, lighting, cable and phone lines. Then there are the new holding ponds, drainage pipe to those ponds. Plus the installation of gutters and side walks (and handrails were needed), excavation of soil to build the proper roadbed, and then the multiple layers of different types of asphalt paving to complete the roadway. There are multiple entities that all had specific time frames in order to schedule and complete their work and all of it had to be worked around good ol’ Mother Nature.
Yep…. I feel you Travis, all the above should have been completed in a weekend or so over the course of that 4 miles….. roll my eyes!
Good work? How many years does it take to pave 4 miles?
I can appreciate the fine work that’s being done on Nine Mile Road. It is going to make it a breeze to travel the eastbound Lanes and Westbound Lanes. I can appreciate where my tax payers money is going. Keep up the good work and be safe.
