I-10 To Be Resurfaced From State Line To Near Highway 29 In $19.8 Million Project
December 15, 2025
The Florida Department of Transportation will soon begin a $19.8 million resurfacing project early next year on I-10, from the Perdido River Bridge at the state line to west of the Highway 29 (Exit 10).
The project also includes:
- Installation of an intelligent transportation system (ITS) wrong-way detection system, along with eastbound on-ramp and westbound off-ramp extensions at the I-10/Pine Forest Road (State Road 297) interchange (Exit 7).
- Installation of high-tension cable barriers from the Perdido River Bridge to Beulah Road, and from Nine Mile Road (Exit 5) to west of U.S. 29 (Exit 10).
- Median crossover installation for emergency vehicles.
- Guardrail replacement.
- Expansion joint rehabilitation on the westbound approach slab of the Perdido River Bridge.
During construction, traffic shifts may be required for travel lanes, ramps and shoulders. Lane closures may also occur Sunday through Thursday, between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Construction is expected to be completed in late 2027.

Why do they not wait until they have finished I-10 at exit 5 to Hwy 29 ????? Instead they could be working on Pine Forest from just south of I-10 to Nine Mile Rd. With so much growth going on in that area, I would think that could be done instead. Where are the county commissioners in this ? Oh, yes they want all this growth but clueless about what it takes to get there. Duh!!!
Does this mean the work on the Hwy 29 & I10 interchange will be completed before the resurfacing project reaches the current construction zone? Or will this be fratricidal projects? Resurfacing in an ongoing construction zone? They going to resurface the temporary lanes? What really needed reworked was the I10 – Pine Forest interchange. These boondoggles begin with a lack of local political leadership. They can have a voice in what needs to get done and input on roadwork priorities with the state, but they’re too worried about where to drop the next housing development or who’s developing the old Beulah OLF. It’s easier to shrug their shoulders and say they’re helpless than to actually work for their constituents.
JJ..agree
Dear Grinch,
Please take the States money and never let them do anything else to I10 in Pensacola. The people have spoken.
You all should consider that funding for the I-10 resurface came from the Federal Government with strict stipulations that it is used for that sole purpose and not for any other road improvement projects.
Would be nice if these “mental giants” that come up with the road improvements in Escambia County would just get off of the interstate sometime and see where our real problems are. But happy they seem to think U.S, 29 should be 6 lane to the Alabama state line. Dumb as dirt!
Why not just six lane it all, build a median wall instead of a cable barrier, and be done with it? The traffic volume (and future projections) most certainly justify six laning this segment.
Century needs to petition the state to pave Highway 29 from stateline though Century.
It is potholed and rough.
That’s just great, because this area doesn’t have enough FDOT traffic pain already…
This means for 2+ years it is going to be a construction gauntlet from the Florida State Line through about mile marker 11. This project plus Exit 5 (2028) interchange work plus Exit 10 interchange work (2030) all happening at the same time. And it seems to take forever to get any of it done.
Why would they start this knowing there’s already a section of that interstate under heavy construction. Traffic delays are bad enough already in that area. Doing this projec now is DUMB and will only delay traffic even more. Whomever makes these decisions on these things needs to be removed from that position. This makes zero sense to do this now.
Yet the state wont fix Pine Forest from 1-10 to 9 mile.
Thankyou state!
