Resurfacing Project Nearing Completion On Highway 196
August 6, 2024
A resurfacing project on a portion of Highway 196 near Molino is nearing completion.
The roadway is being resurfaced over about two miles from Highway 29 to Country Road 95A.
According to Escambia County, crews are expected to finish the paving operation as early as Tuesday, weather permitting.
There will be incidental work performed in the days to follow, such as shoulder work to seed and sod, concrete driveways to finish and final striping after pavement cure time.

Great resurfaced…how about some actual improvements for safty.
After the county replaced their gas lines they messed up my driveway connection to hwy95a. Then the resurface came and Roads inc. left a 4 inch drop off from roadway to my driveway at 4887 hwy 95a north.
There is a line item in the contract that pays for traffic control. If the contractor is remiss they can always have money deducted for failure to deliver services. The County Engineering Department provides an inspector for each project. They do a good job but are stretched thin. If you see a problem, report it via telephone, email or the “trouble” link. All that is googleable. In my own experience the County, contractors and inspectors do a good job but lapses can occur. I also know that County doesn’t mind feedback, good or bad. It all combines to get better and stay better at what they do. Those were good people I used to work with.
Today is supposed to be the last day of paving on 196. Nice to see after I called county and complained about them closing the whole road, with no advance warning signs, or a place to turn around, they have flaggers at each intersection today.
JJ Have you found tnat government equals lies?
Worst road crew ever! Don’t foresee it making a difference. The lanes were already in need of being widened and a shoulder would be great but not looking like they planned well at all. When you come out of your neighborhood and there’s no direction on which side on 196 is closed because the idiots can’t put a sign to let you know! Lost cause…
Pray the shoulder work is better than the two miles on Schaag Rd that intersects with 196.
OOPS, I FORGOT,Road INC didnt do any shoulder work and left 4-8″ dropoff from pavement at the mailboxes.
Road Department came out and I was told R.I. would fix the problem. Not one piece of sod ,seeds or fill dirt was ever put down and the road was cracking within a year of my completion! CHECK IT OUT NORTH ESCAMBIA?
