Louis Street In Cantonment Will Remain Closed Another Month
December 18, 2021
Louis Street in Cantonment will be closed for twice as long as originally anticipated.
Louis Street (Highway 297A) was closed in the area of Washington Street and Lincoln Street on November 15. Instead of reopening by mid-December as first announced, Escambia County says the road will be closed until January 16, 2022.
Work was delayed due to utility issues during installation of the storm and water lines.
Construction work includes installation of a stormwater pipe, other drainage structures and widening along the west southbound travel lane on Louis Street
Local traffic is being detoured in the surrounding neighborhood. All other through traffic should continue to use County Road 97 between Muscogee Road and Kingsfield Road.

@L.B. —- according to the myescambia website, this project “consists of widening the existing travel lanes to 12′ and adding 5′ paved shoulders. Drainage improvements will be included that may consist of replacing driveway pipes, and in some locations curbing and drainage inlets”.
It started in September 2015 with work from Pine Forest Road to the Road Camp Area. The second phase was from the Road Camp to Muscogee Rd.
Neither section included sidewalks.
Take as long as it take to complete this over due improvement. Will sidewalks be Installed for the residents in this ares? There is also foot and Bike traffic along this section of roadway.
