There should be a minimum 3 day notice for this level of traffic disruption.

Good project management and courtesy are prerequisites.

I sure hope Escambia County fixes the intersection there! It is ridiculous.

This is a main thoroughfare, you would think they could have someone direct traffic and close one lane. They sure don’t mind inconvenience to you cost of going 30 to 60 miles out of your way
County should have already put a road from quintet to McKenzie. Pipe line can cut and lay pipe in a week but it takes 19 to 20 years to build a needed exit out of this area anyway because of the railroad which has trapped us in here several times
Just saying

They need to work on Becks Lake Rd. The crossing is extremely rough.

This is the railroad. They do what they want when they want to and really don’t care if you like it Simply awful organization. Absolutely no logic to anything they do.

For a busy road such a Quintette, I would think they could build a temporary crossing with some packed dirt and election paving, close it to all commercial trucks, and just let cars and pickups use it. Once work is complete, just remove it.
