The purpose of this Florida Department of Transporation project is to study the widening from four lanes to six lanes of S.R. 10 (U.S. 90) through Escambia and Santa Rosa counties to provide additional east-west capacity alternatives to Interstate 10 (I-10). S.R. 10 (U.S. 90) serves as a connecting link between the City of Pensacola, the community of Pace, and the City of Milton. The western segment directly connects with I-10 and is in close proximity to the main University of West Florida campus entrance at Campus Drive. The eastern segment connects with S.R. 281 (Avalon Boulevard), which connects to I-10, and also connects with S.R. 87 and S.R. 89, both of which extend north into Alabama.

Additional roadway capacity is needed to strengthen S.R. 10 (U.S. 90) as an east-west corridor alternative to I-10 that will accommodate the projected future roadway volumes for motorists traveling between Escambia and Santa Rosa counties and for emergency evacuation purposes.

This meeting is to present the initial engineering and environmental annalists to date and give the public an opportunity to provide comments concerning proposed improvements.
