Chipley– Nine Mile Road will be closed at the U.S. 29 overpass in Escambia County from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14 and Thursday, Nov. 15 as crews place beams for the new northbound bridge. Eastbound Nine Mile Road traffic will be reduced to one lane, detoured to U.S. 29 South, perform a U-turn at West Hood Drive, and return to Nine Mile Road. Westbound traffic will utilize U.S. 29 North, perform a U-turn at West 9 1/2 Mile Road, and return to Nine Mile Road. Traffic control officers will be on-site to help direct traffic.
Additionally, U.S. 29 traffic between Interstate 10 and 9 1/2 Mile Road may experience alternating lane closures as crews continue drainage and paving operations.
All activities are weather dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. Drivers are reminded to obey the 40-mph speed limit and use caution when traveling through the work zone, especially at night. Drivers should also watch for construction workers and equipment entering and exiting the roadway.
