The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold a public information meeting for work beginning on State Road 95 (U.S. 29/Pensacola Boulevard), from Interstate 10 (I-10) to north of S.R. 10 (U.S. 90A/Nine Mile Road) in Escambia County. The meeting will be held Thursday, Aug. 25, 2016 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. CDT at Smyrna Baptist Church, 7000 Pensacola Boulevard, Pensacola.  

The $48.9 million project includes widening U.S. 29 (Pensacola Boulevard), from  I-10 to north of Nine Mile Road from four to six travel lanes.  Additional improvements include replacing the bridge over Nine Mile Road, roadway lighting, sidewalks, bike lanes, signalization improvements, and drainage upgrades. FDOT representatives  will be available to provide information about planned construction work and potential impacts.

Construction activities are scheduled to begin in September 2016 and will require nighttime lane closures and speed limit reductions on Pensacola Boulevard. Weather permitting, the project is slated for completion summer 2020.
