West Roberts Road $4.6 Million Drainage, Widening Project Continues
August 22, 2025
An Escambia County $4.6 million West Roberts Road widening and drainage improvement project is continuing.
The widening and drainage improvements will be along a 1.75 mile stretch of West Roberts from the Highway 29 intersection west to the southern turn to Sutton Place. The project intent is to widen the roadway to two 12-foot-wide travel lanes with 5-foot-wide shoulders from Pine Forest Road to U.S. 29. The roadway from the southern turn to Pine Forest will be resurfaced and striped.
The $4,635,298.30 project being funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was awarded to contractor C.W. Roberts, Inc.
The county said access to adjacent properties will be maintained, although there may be short periods when a driveway or entrance is blocked.

I wonder when they will get around to fixing Pine Forest between I 10 and nine mile. This has been a major bottleneck for way to long and would not be hard to fix. Do your job commissioners.
Does a single company not know how to start a job and then finish it? I get that roadwork can take a little bit but they have barely done a single thing here since they started. It’s ridiculous. Just like everywhere in this area – they start a road project then take AGES to finish it when it could’ve already been done by now.
