Comments on: New Florida Budget Includes $7.7 Million To Resurface Highway 29 http://www.northescambia.com/2011/05/new-fla-budget-includes-7-7-million-to-resurface-highway-29 Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Thu, 16 Apr 2026 00:03:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Juliet http://www.northescambia.com/2011/05/new-fla-budget-includes-7-7-million-to-resurface-highway-29/comment-page-1#comment-87859 Juliet Thu, 02 Jun 2011 21:31:34 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=56116#comment-87859 Footballmom is correct. Anderson Columbia paved this entire section of US 29 - most of it in 2001, but the northernmost 2 miles in 1999. My sneaking suspicion is that the hard freeze endured by North Florida the last couple of years had something to do with the rapid deterioration of the pavement. Things like this happen, and the local FDOT District has done an excellent job of accelerating this repaving due to the large public outcry. Footballmom is correct.

If in fact Roads Inc done from Muscogee to Quintette doesnt make a difference. The article states paving from Pine Barren to Century. That is WELL north of where you are talking about. William - can you investigate WHO done previous paving? Name (required) The paving in question was done by Anderson Columbia.

I can not speak to who did that north of there buy I travel up 29 every day and recall the Roads Inc. equipment on that job up that far and it is falling apart just like the rest so I suspect they did the whole thing. Someone needs to investigate this, and make sure that whoever did it does not get the opportunity to do more of the same next time.

I thought 99 and 97a were state, but now I know who's ear to tug on to try and get a fix. we all need to let the county officials know there is a problem. william,
