Large Portion Of Nine Mile Road Opens To Four Lanes Of Traffic
August 12, 2021
All four travel lanes are now open on Nine Mile Road between Untreiner Avenue (near Highway 29) to Surrey Drive (west of Pine Forest Road).
The final, friction layer of asphalt for the outside lanes will be paved over the next three weeks during nighttime hours, according to the Florida Department of Transportation. Next, crews will apply the permanent, thermoplastic striping to the roadway.
This part of the the Nine Mile Road improvement project is a $20-million effort to widen the heavily traveled roadway from two to four lanes between Surrey Drive and Untreiner Avenue. Final completion is anticipated in late-September.

They really need to send something in the mail to residents living on the streets off of Nine Mile Rd, especially the dead end streets, letting them know when their street will be blocked off due to road construction. I was looking to get back to my house around 10pm Thursday night, because I had to be up early the next day & I was blocked off from getting onto my street. I didn’t get back to the house until after 1. That is over 3 hours I spent waiting! I was strongly considering filing a complaint with somebody & am still considering that. I understand that road work needs to get done, but they should let people living in the area know ahead of time, so that they can plan accordingly.
*I meant to comment earlier (I just moved to Pensacola a few weeks ago & didn’t get internet installed until yesterday).
Now maybe they can finish hwy 29.
5 years dealing with this “lack of construction ” bs is too long.
It ain’t over till its over!
Wonderful !
