$7.2 Million In Safety Improvements Now Underway On East Nine Mile Road
June 13, 2022
Work is now underway on a $7.2 million Florida Department of Transportation project to improve safety on a 2.3 mile segment of East Nine Mile Road.
Planned safety improvements between Chemstrand Road and Baldridge Road include:
- Widening the turn lanes to include five-foot bicycle lanes in each direction.
- Traffic signal upgrades.
- Guardrail, pavement markings, and sidewalk enhancements.
- Drainage improvements.
- Milling and resurfacing all turn lanes and bicycle lanes.
- FDOT said the project is anticipated to be complete by the Summer of 2023.
During construction, drivers and bicyclists can expect lane closures and traffic shifts. Lane closures will be limited to the 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. timeframe seven days a week. Pedestrian detours will be in place while sidewalk improvements are underway.

Bill T you are so right about the condition of 95-A .Another road that’s in bad shape is Quintette Rd.
Wow that’s a lot of money for such a short stretch of road! Traffic signal upgrades? Does that mean even more new lights installed to choke traffic flow?
Are they going to pour more concrete medians to eliminate the center turn lanes?
I welcome upgrades but would like to see an audit on the project.
Try looking at 95-A this road I heavily used and needs to be repaved now and been needing it for about 5 years!!! It terrible !!! 95-A from 29 to molino!!!!! Just take a drive down this road and you will see it is in bad shape !!!!!
Yet the top three arteries to 9 mile road,PINE FOREST, stays in limbo till county ACTUALLY STARTS WORK ON THE BOTTLENECK SINGLE LANE SOUTH OF 9 MILE. lets not go into the foodtruck plans just north of 297 on Pine Forest.
