Subject:	The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold a public information meeting for proposed improvements to State Road (S.R.) 8 / Interstate 10 (I-10) at S.R. 95 (U.S. 29) in Escambia County. The meeting will be held Tuesday, October 25, 2016 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. CDT at the Marie K. Young Wedgewood Community Center, 6405 Wagner Road, Pensacola. The meeting will be an open-house format. FDOT representatives will be available to explain project information, address questions, explain proposed improvements, and receive comments. Maps, drawings, and other project information will be on display. There will not be a formal presentation. Construction to reconfigure the I-10/U.S. 29 ramps and improve safety (Phase 1 Improvements) is underway and scheduled to be complete spring 2017. FDOT is designing further improvements to the interchange known as the ‘Ultimate Improvements’ to address future capacity, operational, and safety issues which include: • Construct six new mainline lanes on I-10 through the center of the interchange (requires 6 new bridges). • Convert existing I-10 mainline bridges to serve as proposed ramps. • Remove the eastbound I-10 to northbound U.S. 29 loop ramp. • Construct extended two lane ramps east of the interchange. • Replace the existing North Palafox and CSX bridges to provide room for the extended ramps on I-10. • Modify the intersection of Diamond Dairy Road at U.S. 29 to allow access to the eastbound and westbound I-10 ramps from Diamond Dairy Road. • Construct stormwater ponds. Right-of-way acquisition and possible relocations are anticipated. Pond site locations have been positioned to minimize clearing of mature oaks. The project is not yet funded for construction in the FDOT Five Year Work Plan.
