$2.36 Million Highway 4A Safety Improvement Project Is Now Underway
January 9, 2026
A $2.36 million, Escambia County Highway 4A safety improvement project is now underway near Century.
The 4.8 miles of roadway safety improvements are taking place on Highway 4A from Highway 4 at the light in Byrneville to State Line Road, and include pavement reconstruction at the State Line Road intersection. The project’s total cost will be $2,362,863.20.
The planned roadway improvements include widening and overlaying the existing lanes. The project also includes the relocation of mailboxes and the reinstallation of traffic signs to county specifications. The guardrails within the project limits will be upgraded to current Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) standards.
The project also includes minor drainage modifications to accommodate road widening.

That’s right Reader. 2.3 on 4A and over a million on hwy 164, yes it needs more.
Yes Hwy 4 is failing from end to end.
But what’s being done in the N.End is appreciated.
There’s just a lot for the money that’s available.

You did realize this $2.6 million is being spent in the north end — that’s where 4A is. They people that live on/drive that road are truly appreciative.
They need to work on Hwy 4 out to Northview. It is already a dangerous road that a high school is on and add the deterioration and potholes and it makes it Extremely Dangerous. Especially for high schoolers to be driving on!
Wake up Esc. Co. oh- that’s right nobody cares about the North-end!!!
I am all about road upkeep and we all know highway 4 needs it. However, I do not understand why only a partial part of the roadways are improved. For example highway 168. It was to be widened due to multiple road accidents but was only redone a portion of the way. Why can’t we finish that road out for safer conditions before starting another? I’m no engineer but wouldn’t that make sense?
