Pensacola Beach Boulevard Lane Closures Begin Jan. 29

Published Jan 28, 2026

Temporary closures on Pensacola Beach Boulevard between the Bob Sikes Toll Plaza and the ECUA Water Tanks will begin Thursday, Jan. 29 as crews perform necessary road work for the Pensacola Beach Gateway Improvements Project.

Lane closures will begin Thursday, Jan. 29 at 8 p.m. Drivers traveling on Pensacola Beach Boulevard should use extra caution and follow road crew instructions and posted signs when traveling through the work zone.

Road work will be completed in two phases, with northbound and southbound inside lanes closed until Tuesday, Feb. 10. Southbound outside lanes will close starting Tuesday, Feb. 10 until Friday, Feb. 27.

Work is being performed for the installation of the new toll gantry and its associated equipment as part of the Pensacola Beach Gateway Improvements Project. The project includes demolition of the current Bob Sikes Toll Plaza to build a new toll gantry with applicable toll-by-plate equipment, CCTV cameras, and new fiber optic communications. Work also includes replacing the roadway once the existing toll booth is demolished. The new toll gantry will offer enhanced safety features, such as better access for emergency response vehicles, while also helping to reduce congestion at the entrance to Pensacola Beach.

If other roadway closures are necessary or work is delayed, another notice will be issued.
