River Road will experience a
road closure with detours beginning Tuesday, July 11. During this time,
construction crews will install a new box culvert under the roadway. The
closure will extend 175 feet in both directions from the creek adjacent to 14620
River Road. The road is expected to re-open by October 2023, with work expected
to be completed by November 2023.
During
this time, two-lane traffic will be maintained on either side of the closure
while all through traffic will be required to use Perdido Key Drive. Pedestrian
access will be maintained through the work zone and closure for the duration of
the work period.
Residents,
pedestrians, local traffic and emergency vehicles will have access to
properties within the work area at all times; however, there may be short
periods when a driveway or entrance may be blocked temporarily as equipment and
materials are moved during construction.
If other roadway closures are necessary or work is delayed, another notice will be
issued.
A
formal Maintenance of Traffic Plan was submitted to and approved by the
Escambia County Construction Management Division on June 22, 2023. Jack Hooper,
contractor's representative, was responsible for the submittal of the approved
MOT Plan and has a valid certificate for Advanced MOT training.
