Prior to the beginning of this project, Rocky Branch Road, located in District 5, was a combination of paved asphalt connecting to East Quintette Road and an unpaved dirt road portion which passed through a 22-foot-wide easement on the Escambia River Muzzle Loader Sportsman Association's property (ERML). The dirt road portion continued west from ERML to the railroad tracks and proceeded south, parallel to the railroad.
There was an existing unopened 33-foot right-of-way owned by Escambia County along the southern boundary of the ERML property. The Board of County Commissioners voted to vacate the existing 22-foot access easement and provide an additional 33-foot right-of-way adjacent to the existing 33-foot right-of-way, creating a 66-foot right-of-way that allowed for the realignment of Rocky Branch Road.
This roadway realignment required successful property acquisition to obtain the additional 33-foot right-of-way and connect the existing unopened right-of-way to the existing dirt road portion west of ERML.
