FDOT Wants Public Input On Potential I-10, Beulah Road Interchange
November 5, 2020
The Florida Department of Transportation is conducting a study to consider the addition of a new I-10 interchange along I-10 in the vicinity of Beulah Road.
The project includes the widening of Beulah Road from West Nine Mile Road to Isaacs Lane, the realignment from Isaacs Lane to West Kingsfield Road, a new interchange at I-10 and the widening of I-10 from the Florida/Alabama line to the Pensacola weigh station.
The project encompasses an area that will see a significant amount of a future development.
As a result of planned growth, there is a need to provide connectivity from new areas of development to the surrounding regional transportation system, according to FDOT. Additionally, there is a need to provide an alternative route that will reduce travel times and congestion within the study area.

FDOT is seeking public comment on the proposal with a deadline of Thursday, November 19.

I’m all for adding an interchange, but stealing people’s land is an absolute NO. There is also nothing about widening Kingfield rd. You can’t even pass two pickup trucks on that road without hitting each other. Whether we like it or not, the government will do whatever they want anyway, so why even try to complain?
yes. build it. make this hwy go all the way to US29 near Quintett Rd. this will help move things along in an emergency evacuation.
Why are you complaining about 9 mile rd construction? Its only 3 years behind. Roads Inc owns at least 2 commissioners. Check their contributions! Shut up if you voted for the commissioners they own.
yes. Should have been done years ago!!!
An exchange at Beulah Road is GOING to be needed, but an overhaul of the Davis Avenue exchange is needed NOW and has been needed for years.
Yes yes yes build it. Those of us who live in Beulah need it badly
This I-10 connection was a done deal. A question of when, not if. I don’t get why this study is being done at all. Build it.
as our area grows the growth happens FIRST the over crowded poorly planed roads are LAST
We need access to the on NORTH hwy 29 close to the Molino area to SPUR the growth – we need stores, medical offices decent restaurants and LESS WRECKS IN POORLY SET UP ROADS – a sign of NO LEFT ON RED at 29 and 97A would help –
Let’s spread the growth and incoming opportunities to the north! I know a LOT will not like this – they want 1 restaurant – feed store and gas – and country – we’ve been there and done that to nauseam
We have been asking for it for years now. Please get it done to relieve the congestion at Pine Forest and Nine Mile. Obviously, there was no forethought given prior to establishing Navy Federal out here.
Also, these contractors need to stop milking the system. Just get it done. If it’s not raining, WORK!
Please do. This project would be a great way to aliviate the horrible traffic on nine mile road pine forest 29 and 297a. Exits five and seven. I just hope it does not take four years like the work on nine mile and pine forest. The contractors appeared to be making a career out of it.
Thanks
This is a great idea but for the love of GOD don’t give another contract to Roads Inc until they finish what they’re already behind on. The 9-year road ordeal has been enough for all of us for a while. Why can’t they work at night to get it done like they do in other areas? Heck, why can’t they work it during the DAY for that matter. One guy works while five others stand around smoking cigarettes or scratching themselves not getting anything done. Who does Roads Inc own in this county to keep getting contracts anyway? Do tell Mr. Bergosh?
if you plan to add the Beulah interchange I suggest that you add another lane to the interstate first, otherwise you will probably have more wrecks than you care to have because of traffic trying to enter and exit from the east bound lanes
Absolutely NEEDS an interchange there. That is one of the fast growing area in Pensacola.
My mother lives at Issac lane and Buelah Rd they want her property that shes lived there over 50 years she does not want to move besides by the time you guys figure it out she will be 100 years old while working on 9 year rd. We are not happy about her relocateing.
I think an on and off ramp into NFCU would be better Idea….Then that would eliminate traffic coming from either direction for their employees.
AND DON”T GIVE THE CONTRACT TO ROADS INC!!!! If you want it done before the turn of the next Century!
Also widen Beulah Rd between Mobile Hwy and 9 Mile.
Great idea! Just do not use the same people who are are making a career out of 9 Mile Rd. I am wondering if it will be finished in my lifetime.
Desperately needed and long overdue. How much more housing and development will be approved before this is done? Southbound Beulah is already backed up to Frank Reeder many mornings…
No one requesting this is suggesting that it take precedence over 9-Mile. But, this is equally necessary.
Make an interchange directly in and out of Navy Federal.
YES, build it. BUT put in contract that it has to be done by a certain date (less sever weather) or they lose money. Also the same for if they get it done sooner.
I seen some of the contracts for paving in Mobile that gave them 20 days to do a certain amount of miles MILES of repave and for some reason they get off their behind and get busy. They hire lots of people and equipment and work 24/7 when weather good.
BUT I think FL has croonie system built in as they take forever to do any work and by the time they are done, it needs upgrades…
They don’t want your input. This is to make you feel better about the project. The FDOT will do it their way regardless of the communities different ideas or suggestions. I agree with those who said finish 9 Mile first but I doubt that will happen.
Give me a time machine and let me go back to the 70’s and enjoy Beulah the way it used to be. They say change is good! Well I say blah, blah, blah!! Well that can never happen and we all know that our county commission is good about putting the cart before the horse. Beulah Rd should have been built well before the first shovel of dirt was taken from Navy Federal! Get the show on the road and get it built!
Wish we could get Nine Mile done first… This is a good idea though!
Could I please get the extra northbound lane on pine forest from detroit to nine mile road. And yes I am still crying about that.
Better yet, extend navy federal lane—problem solved.
Widen kingsfield before. Kingsfield rd is way too small already in this area! Finish 9 mile first, were all tiered of all of escambia being construction zones.
Carpet pave the whole area. Who needs roads!!
For the love of God and all that’s holy, JUST FINISH NINE MILE ROAD, then worry about Beulah
Great idea only if Navy Fed. is paying for it and roads inc. is not doing the work
Great idea. Would need improvements on Beulah road though. Everyone comment on the FDOT link.
It’s a great idea. One people and county commissioners tried to get fast tracked years ago for all the NFCU traffic, that was made even worse by the 9 mile road widening. This should of been under construction the same day the credit union started building a decade ago.
This is long over due, People living west and north of NFCU would no longer it have to deal with the bottle neck traffic in front of NFCU during rush hour traffic. This should have been done prior to the call center being built. 100% build it.
