East KingsField Road Resurfacing Begins Next Week
January 13, 2026
A $875,000 resurfacing project will begin next Monday on East Kingsfield Road.
East Kingsfield will be resurfaced between Highway 29 and Highway 297A. Traffic on East Kingsfield Road will be reduced to a single lane during the construction period.
The paving project is expected to be completed by Friday, February 13.
Residents, pedestrians, local traffic, and emergency vehicles will have access to properties within the work area at all times; however, there may be short periods when a driveway or entrance may be blocked temporarily as equipment and materials are moved during construction.

I’m just wondering why and who’s idea is it to do this during while school is in session. This is going to be an absolute nightmare for Tate, Ransom and Kingsfield Elementary traffic. This isn’t an emergency and could likely wait until summer.
I stand corrected. Not sure how Kingsfield got divided at 297A when the rest of the county is divided at Hwy. 29 or in Pensacola which is divided by Palafox St.
Example: Just one red light south of Kingsfield at Roberts Rd. it is divided at Hwy 29. ie: both east and west begin at Hwy. 29. Therefore, Kingsfield is the only road I can find (thanks to your help), that is not divided by Hwy. 29.
To add to the fun:
97S, which is from Muscogee Rd to 297A is somehow also “Jack’s Branch Rd” according to FDOT and some internet mapping services. We’ve had multiple deliveries attempted on 97S.
Jack’s Branch Rd spurs north of of Muscogee Rd at the Bindu and terminates at the intersection of 196 north of St. Elizabeth’s church.
Yes, this guy Jack’s Branch Roads, lol
“Highway 29 is the East/West divider in Escambia county. Therefore the section of road referenced here is West Kinsfield Rd.”
No. It’s East Kingsfield. For some reason, Highway 297A is the east/west delimiter on Kingsfield. Check a map, or road signs.
They haven’t even finished West Roberts yet, and now you’re going to jack up Kingsfield?
What’s next…rip up 9 mile and box us in altogether?
Highway 29 is the East/West divider in Escambia county. Therefore the section of road referenced here is West Kinsfield Rd.
Where does East Kingsfield Rd. change to WEST Kingsfield Rd.? Shouldn’t it change to West if it’s west of Hwy. 29? Seriously asking. I know Roberts Road changes from East to West at Hwy. 29.
How about finish Beulah Road first? One lane is an inch higher than the other one from 9 mile north.
It’s about time. The Traffic, Trucks, Buses has been destructive to this Roadway
Due to the Building and Developments that has taken place in the area.
At lease we will see where some of our Tax Dollars are going.
How about resurfacing muscogee road and jacks branch rd while youre at it
What a hugely needed project to address this deteriorated, cracked and pothole lined street. Maybe now the delineation lines marking the pavement edge can be repainted. These lines sure help drivers to see edge of the road during the nighttime hours, especially when the road is wet. Hopefully this repaving projects also eliminates the bad approach to the bridge crossing 11-mile creek. The addition of a paved shoulder and/or bike lane would also be a blessing. Could commuters be so lucky??
Next maybe the County can find the funds to replace the functional obsolete narrow bridge crossing at 11-mile creek versus tossing dollars at costly repairs.
