UPDATE: Highway 29 Southbound To I-10 Detour Delayed Until September 16
September 4, 2024
The Florida Department of Transportation has delayed the new configuration for the I-10 and Highway 29 interchange that was due to take place Tuesday. Due to inclement weather, the change is now scheduled for Monday, September 16.,
On September 16, drivers from Highway 29 southbound will be detoured to a temporary on-ramp to access I-10 eastbound. The temporary on-ramp will allow crews to reconstruct the interchange, according to the Florida Department of Transportation.
FDOT reminds drivers that the Highway 29 northbound ramp to I-10 eastbound is also closed. Highway 29 northbound drivers will continue north and make a U-turn at Broad Street onto U.S. 29 southbound to access I-10 eastbound. Directional signage is in place to direct drivers through the work zone.
The $236 million project to construct all-new I-10 travel lanes and about a dozen bridges is expected to be complete by 2030. FDOT said 62,000 commuters travel through the corridor daily.
All activities are weather dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather.

Guess I’ll be traveling on the back roads for the next 10 years!!!
More wasted taxpayer money. This area was just re-done
So many times I’ve driven through this construction area and no active work going on. A project like this in the heart of our most important interchanges US29/I-10/I-110 should be worked urgently and around the clock until completion. No reason for a six year completion time, especially considering that most FDOT projects in this area run well into overtime.
Why does it take so long to complete this project? This same area was just re-worked. Such a busy and confusing area. This project should be expedited and on a fast track!
I would like to send my condolences to those of you who must travel anywhere near this interchange in any direction for the next 8-10 years cause we all know it will NOT be done by 2030.
Mystery wrapped in a puzzle surrounded by an enigma.
Should have built the Escambia Expressway (End of I-110 to Pine Forest) when there was a chance.
