The northbound inside traffic lane will be reopened on Pensacola Beach Boulevard upon completion of this phase of work by the end of April 2026. Motorists traveling on Pensacola Beach Boulevard should use extra caution and follow posted detour signs when traveling around the work zone. Work will take place between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
A temporary lane shift for southbound traffic entering Pensacola Beach will also be in effect beginning Monday, April 13.
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.
The public's patience is appreciated as crews work diligently to complete this project as soon as possible. If other roadway closures are necessary or work is delayed, another notice will be issued.
