I get flashbacks of the Davis Highway project when traveling highway 29 in Ensley. Yes, it is a mess and just as rough as any road north of Cantonment. What makes the drive white knuckles and seat puckering is the drivers themselves. If people would drive like is was a construction zone and not the last five laps of the Snowball Derby it wouldn’t be so bad, except for the teeth rattling, bone jarring, frond end misalignment due to the inverted speed bumps.

“FEED UP” -Exactly!

Some guy sideswiped me on hwy 29 because of the abrupt shift in the lanes. I’m so over this city’s incompetence. All this construction has led to more wrecks and businesses losing money because customers give up trying to get to the location (we’re part of those businesses). This is absolutely the most ill-thought-out plan FDOT could have come up with. The crews you’ve hired can’t just get one section done without running to do another one leaving the first. These people should be working day and night on one section to get it complete. All the backroads are shut down because of work too, so you can’t even get around this crap. Every time you go by there are about 20 construction workers just standing around while 1 or 2 are actually working. Forget about actually placing the cones down in a straight line or out of the way. These guys need to go back to kindergarten to learn how to make a straight line.

If there were any real justice all the individuals involved in auto accidents or that have damaged their automobile on Hwy 29 between Cantonment and the I-10 interchange would take legal action against the local FDOT. The FDOT has failed to exercise over site of the contractors who have ripped up the road and failed to make temp repairs
to maintain safe, drive able, road surface. Further It appears the FDOT plans to drag this mess out until 2020, the scheduled completion date. Where the heck are the county commissioners on this issue? Gentlemen take a drive up and down the section of road in the family car. Then call a meeting with the FDOT project manager. Progress is a great thing if competently managed. This road project is a disgrace.

Hwy 29 construction will save me money this year and probably many years to come based on the progress so far. When the kids ask to go to the Pensacola Interstate Fair this year, I will just take them to Sonic for some hot dogs and slushies, then drive them up and down the stretch of Hwy 29 between I-10 and the 9 mile over pass several times; it’s just like riding the roller coaster. Scary and makes you want to vomit. On the other hand, it will likely cost me a grand to repair my truck’s suspension after this fiasco is over.
