Highway 29 Reconstruction Project In Century Set To Begin In January
December 20, 2022
Work is expected to begin in January on a $4.7 million Florida Department of Transportation safety improvement project on Highway 29 in Century.
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 state budget signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis included $3,278,228 for the project.
FDOT has not announced a specific construction start date.

What was really needed? For them to have 6 lane Hwy 29 from Hwy 90 (9 Mile Rd) all the way to the paper mill, Muscogee Rd in Cantonment would be of much greater use.
A bypass around Century and Flomaton?
A limited access bypass around Ensley, Gonzalez, and Cantonment would be of much greater use.
Can’t wait to see the results in 2032.
glad to see it. it’s been bad for a long time. not good on cars.
GMH –
Why? So our town can completely die out? How heartless. Some of us call this place home.
How about a bypass to go around Century and Flomaton.
This is a good project.
Would be nice if they would repair the large dip just south of Hudsons old store also.
Hard to believe Century still has room for improvement.
Just joking. There’s bound to be something.
Project completion estimated 2030
