Berryhill road need 4 Lanes connect to Quintette road (4 lanes) and connect to Barrineau Park road (4 lanes) to New Bypass Hwy 29 to I-10.

In Santa Rosa county, Quinetette, Woodbine, Chumuckla, and Berryhill roads need re-do (maybe build the bridge without the traffic light)

I wonder how many people are going to be forced to sell their homes in order for the county to build a road we don’t need?

They cant keep muscogee rd from beulah rd to 29 repaired!
I agree with Overpass on 29 and western entrance for chip and log trucks since they mostly come from that direction anyway. Maybe we could get our little town back!

Escambia county has never had proper management in the way of zoning and industrial development.’I have been a few places on this old ball and Cantonment is the only town that I have ever encountered, that has a paper mill in the middle of it.

Build the overpass and move the chip and log trucks of hwy 29 and to the rear of the mill.

High speed? Hope not like the Baldwin Beach Express–55mph.

Just curious… is it possible to do this with High Quality work and in a reasonably short period of time? Like less than 5 years to complete? seems like construction around Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties take an Unreasonable amount of time to finish with LOTS of screw ups, and ooops forgot to add that in, type stuff, as if purposely attempting to drag it out.
Next if they could get a reasonably straight freeway/bypass from here (HWY29 or 297a) to 113 to jump on I65 north, so don’t have to go through all the lil towns if you don’t want to.

This road project is in the works to accommodate, enhance and line the pockets of the mover and shakers involved in a massive “Town Center” project in that area.
I am sure it has been reported here by William maybe up to four years ago.
Major residential and commercial development bordered by Ten Mile, Hwy 29 and Perdido River.
I tried to search for the name of it but I have not found the right words to use in searching.

There are a few projects that need to be taken care of like the CSX crossing but that is a county issue not a FDOT issue. I welcome this since it will eliminate some of the Hwy 29 congestion and yes, maybe one day someone will think outside the box and ;

1) Connect I110 to I65
2) Create an on/off ramp for 9th Avenue of I10

Regardless of how things have been, for a county to survive, progress must be achieved. Navy Federal today )and the near future) is what the old Monsanto plant was too so many of you 30 years ago, the leading job supplier. Everyone complains about a lack of jobs and a lack of good paying jobs but we have an answer. To keep the jobs coming, we need to advance our roadways and a little sacrifice will go a long way. Taxes aren’t being raised and there is money flowing back into the community so its a win-win for the local community.
