The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold a public information meeting on Thursday, June 18, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., at the Smyrna Baptist Church, 7000 North Pensacola Boulevard. The meeting is being held to allow participants an opportunity to review proposed improvements to State Road (S.R.) 742 (Burgess Road) from S.R. 95 (U.S. 29) to Hilburn Road in Escambia County.
The intent of the project is to widen 1.9 miles of S.R. 742 (Burgess Road) between U.S. 29 and Hilburn Road from two to five lanes to include two 10.5-foot travel lanes in each direction with a center 10-foot two way left turn lane. In addition, 4-foot bicycle lanes and 6-foot sidewalks will be constructed along both sides of the roadway.
There will not be a formal presentation, however, FDOT representatives will be available to explain proposed improvements, answer questions and receive comments. Maps, drawings and other project information will be on display.
