FDOT is not known for speed. Actually good points about hurricane evac. Another route should be in order regardless. East West I10. First. The speed limit is 30 MPH through here anyway. Actually again, the traffic slow down is a good thing. It's not bothering me at all. Even for pedestrians crossing the street., the barrels in the middle are nice. Slow down.

East West I10. First.

The speed limit is 30 MPH through here anyway.

Actually again, the traffic slow down is a good thing.

It’s not bothering me at all.

Slow down.

Why is this even stopping all of this work when there is so much more to do. Locate the pipe the rest of the way and get to work Why can’t they work on other sections while they wait.

With the road down to a single lane if Pensacola and surrounding areas are evacuated, traffic going north will be backed up to Molino. Maybe, just maybe during the six months of hurricane season, the people that need to make the decision about the pipe will be able to make that decision. Some of you may remember several years ago before highway 113 was four laned, it was turned into a one-way road during a hurricane evacuation.

This should be a one or two day fix. But not surprising at all by Century standards. How many weeks now have gone by with no movement by the town to fix its own problem?
