This not a road, but a highway with a speed limit of 55. How in the world can you not pave it all? But again, I’m sure there are other highways that need the same. Very dangerous so I hope this gets done from 29 to 97 as well.

This entire road from Hwy 29 to Hwy 97 needs widening and resurfacing. Children travel this road every day to school by buses that can’t safely pass most oncoming vehicles without running off the road deliberately. Log trucks fly up and down and run oncoming vehicles off the road, as do many high school students. The north end is frequently forgotten completely or given “half” a thought… hope this isn’t one more instance. Astronomical amounts of money being spent to widen Hwy 29, again, in Pensacola and reroute the interstate… seems like a waste.

Anyone with a memory can remember when they widened Highway 4 by Northview High School as Phase 1 of Highway 4. When do you suppose phase 2 of it will start. That’s really nice.

At least add to the edges on both sides of entire road like they did on 99 with a complete resurface later on. Just don't wait years on end to finish the project.....like hwy 99. This would help tremendously. It should be against the law to construct a road with such a minimum width in the first place.

The whole thing is dangerously narrow. I appreciate what is being done but not quite understanding such a small portion of it being done when this rd has had so many bad wrecks and even taken lives. At a minimum from pine barren rd back east to Wilma rd. Basically from hill top to hill top crossing pinebarren creek. Those curves are really bad going down the hill . The picture of the truck upside down in the ditch is in the area but yet there not doing it now. ???? Mr. Barry please continue to push for it. Thank you . Land owner off hwy 164.

Encourage traffic to go that way. At least Barry is looking at roads in his district. That's a plus. Need to widen 4A as a bypass around Century and divert traffic from the foot of the overpass.
