County Approves $1 Million Project To Pave Molino Dirt Road
April 8, 2024
The Escambia County Commission has approved a contract of just over $1 million to pave a Molino dirt road.
The contract was awarded to Site and Utility, LLC for $1,076,908.75 to pave the 0.39 mile length of Four Star Farm Road that runs south off Molino Road. The project will include associated drainages work as part of the county’s ongoing Dirt Road Paving Program.
The county received nine proposals and one “no bid” response with Site and Utility, LLC, determined to be the lowest cost responsive bidder and recommended for award.
The project will take approximately 330 days to complete.

It’s crazy to have them paving dirt roads this creating a problem for teens because there are teens who are tired of always having to drive on normal roads so they go and drive on dirt roads
REGARDING:
“A good old dirt road can wait. Get your priorities in order!”
Yes, it could. We voted for the Local Option Sales Tax around 1990 based on the promise to pave ALL dirt roads.
After we approved it, they said they would do the roads where right of way was given FIRST.
Then they said they would pave ONLY the dirt roads where right of way was given.
And they found other more important things to spend the money on BEFORE doing what they promised to do FIRST.
This is 2024, more than a third of a century later.
David for patience
Bet my social security check a new development will be coming soon.
Escambia County needs to maintain roads already paved and in terrible condition in our neighborhoods where people utilize these roads everyday. A good old dirt road can wait. Get your priorities in order!
A year to pave a dirt road this is funny.
Usually if a dirt road is not paved the ROW has not been given to do so to provide proper drainage.
What is the holdup on ARENA ROAD WHAT DO YOU Hve to do to get this road paved just north of kingsfield off jacks branch
CONTINUING:
“It’d be really cool if they’d finish Pine Barren Rd down to Hwy 29 or widen CR 164.”
…and Cedartown Road
….and Bush Street
….and North Crary Road.
Nearly a year and a million bucks to pave less than a half-mile of dirt road.
It’d be really cool if they’d finish Pine Barren Rd down to Hwy 29 or widen CR 164. But at that price and time frame it’d cost a billion dollars and take a decade.
