Study To Consider Realignment, Four-Laning Of Beulah Road To A Relocated Kingsfield Road
May 16, 2023
The Escambia County Commission this week will consider funding a study on realigning Beulah Road to accommodate a proposed Kingsfield Road relocation project.
The Beulah Road extension would be studied as a rural four lane divided, limited access road, which would likely begin as two lanes in the near future and ultimately expand to four lanes, according to the county. The proposed Beulah Road Extension also includes a new I-10 interchange.
The western extension of Kingsfield Road has been designed and permitted. It consists of rebuilding the existing roadway westward a half mile from County Road 97 and the construction of a new road one mile to the west.
The proposed $911,000 Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) Study will consider the safety and environmental impacts of the Beulah Road realignment. It will take approximately 18 months to complete.
The Escambia County Commission will consider funding for the study at their meeting on Thursday.

“just one more lane bro” “it’s gonna fix traffic bro i’m sure of it bro”
Let’s study how life benefits more when we don’t pave everything.
Why don’t they widen and four-lane Gulf Beach Hwy as promised a few years ago?
it’s very dangerous driving on this road–traffic accidents happening all the time. We were sent paperwork several years ago that they were going to redo Gulf Beach Hwy when they got the money Well, now they have the money to do Beulah Road, why not Gulf beach Hwy?
Seems to me that the county landfill needs more land to expand so they need to close thru-traffic on Beulah rd and reroute it further east so this would be a way for the county to get the reroute done. Why not route Beulah rd straight up from i10 north to intersect with the new Kingsfield relocation along the route of the proposed i10 to 29 bypass? 4 lane it and adding new sections heading north in the future… That makes more sense to me than a million dollars to study this weird new route…?
Oh gooodieeeee, more eye sore storage storages and car washes coming soon.
Why not just make it four lane and get it done once. Seems like wasting money is the only thing that our geniuses can do.
It will be 2 lane then 3-4 years later another million dollar study to go 4 lane.
18 months? $911,000? (call it a million before this is done). I thought Beulah was a state highway and the county couldn’t do anything with it? There is no cohesive plan to address the destruction of Beulah. Limit the rapid unplanned expansions!
To those complaining do you know how everyone north east of 9 mile gets to the dump on Beulah road? Most of them take W, kingsfield rd that winds mercilessly through a small community that have to deal with garbage blowing off peoples trailers increased traffic on a road that absolutely was not built for it and illegal dumping this would alleviate most of that by giving motorists a more direct route to the dump.
People will see the great need of this road and the relief it will bring to an entire community and won’t complain to much about the cost well the ones doing the illegal dumping will of course.
I’m extremely disgusted with the growth spurt coming to Beulah. That said, we are expecting four lane service to I 10. It seems as though the Commission likes spending more time and money than just doing. I can think of a lot more that could be done with 911k. Seems as though the light at the end of the tunnel is getting farther and farther away from a finish line! I am sure that the vote for our next county commissioner will be before the road gets started. I’m asking all of our citizens to get these people who have no real feelings for Beulah residents out of office! I would also love to see an audit of there bank accounts also! Building more and more homes and the roads can not handle the influx of people daily. It sickens me to no end.
My house is shown on that map, I agree with you EMD. It’s so nice a quiet back in there, it’s my safe haven. Luckily we’re set waaaaay back from Kingsfield.
$911,000.00 to study it? WOW!
Just quit building “STUFF” everywhere. Leave some country. Not everyone likes a
noisy concrete JUNGLE!
