Major FDOT Safety Improvement Project Set To Begin On Highway 29 In Century This Winter
June 16, 2022
The Florida Department of Transportation is set to begin a $3.3 million major safety improvement project on Highway 29 in Century this winter.
FDOT plans a major reconstruction of Highway 29 from just south of East Highway 4 to the Alabama state line. The project includes the roadway reconstruction, curb and gutter, drainage upgrades, signal loop replacement, driveway modifications, and sidewalks.
A curve at Jackson Street (pictured inset and shown in graphic below) will be realigned with drainage improvements; the curve has been the site of several truck accidents in recent years.
The new state budget recently signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis included $3,278,228 for the project.

Adding stop lights might help people hit less pedestrians in century too.. I think there are important things to worry about that got left out of the road improvement funds like accounting for the many people who live in century that walk across that highway daily.
Driver, I agree.
Reader.
Nah, too expensive.

Smile, you’re on candid camera.
The speed limit is 30 MPH for a reason.
Good to see sidewalks in the plan.
How do you like the one that wasn’t completed when the overpass was built in the late 1960,s.
The FDOT had a meeting and told them how to put in for sidewalks back when Vergie Davis met them for the five year plan.
So far Nada.

Century is not a speed trap. It’s a speedway.

I remember when Highway 29 was originally four-laned through Century. My son was a toddler and my daughter was a baby. I had go through the construction every day to take them to Flomaton FBC Daycare. My son will be 49 this summer, so its definitely time for the improvement!
It’s about time. If they don’t hurry and do something with the drain that’s collapsing in the outside lane North Bound close to that curve someone is going to be in trouble.
