Planning takes time. It’s not like the county decided to do this road work 2 months ago…it’s been in the works for years. It wasn’t always apparent that NFCU was going to expand the way it has. You people need to accept that rapid growth comes with drawbacks. Yeesh.

Build the infrastructure before thousands of employees need to get to work every day. They could of lowered that bridge 5 years ago and no one would of even noticed. The State has owned the necessary right of way to 4 lane ALT-90 for probably 50 years but did not make it a priority until after the NFCU had decided to move here. What a cluster.

I dont know the specifics of the project but the road is most likely being lowered to meet the Federal Highway Administration vertical clearance requirement.

It’s a fact the county commissioners do things backwards. This road should have been 4 lanes years ago. How long has Navy Federal been out there??? Once finished, Nine Mile Road west of 29 will be a raceway. East of 29 the speed limit is 45. Do people do 45??? I don’t think so more like 55-60.
How long will this part of Nine Mile take to finish. So glad I don’t have to travel anymore than I have to any more.

Just wondering why so many projects causing so many detours at the same time. WHY can’t they finish one project before beginning another. Seems crazy and thoughtless of the tax payers.

Wish the Kingfiled/Beulah I10 exit could be a reality!

It would be nice to have the roads fixed that been needing it for years.Roads like muscogee,Balboa,Santa Rosa,Isabella and Well Line road.These roads have been neglected for a long time now.Can’t even get the stop sign fixed on Perdido road.Somebody hit it over 3 months ago and still haven’t been fixed.And even before it was hit people continuously ran it.We have been needing speed bumps for the longest.But it’s just being over looked as usual.

Here we go again. Traffic is already congested and it is almost impossible to get to work on time.

It is unfortunate that road construction projects in the area were not better coordinated. The bottlenecks on 9 mile and the closing of Muskogee rd so you are unable to access Beulah rd have left alternatives to a minimum when combining from the north of these projects. Seems like someone dropped the ball here and did not consider the overall impact to the area in conjunction with other projects.
