The Florida Department of Transportation, District Three announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.
DATE AND TIME: Tuesday, January 17, 2012, 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. (CST)
PLACE: Olive Baptist Church Passmore Hall, 1836 East Olive Road, Pensacola, Florida
GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The purpose of the meeting is to update local government officials, affected property owners, tenants, and the public concerning proposed improvements to I-10 from east of S.R. 291 (Davis Highway) to east of S.R. 10A (U.S. 90) and to provide them an opportunity to express their views and comments concerning the status of the design project. Plans showing the proposed improvements will be on display. The meeting will be conducted in an open house format (no formal presentation is scheduled). FDOT representatives will be available to discuss the project, receive comments, answer questions and explain the proposed improvements.
Currently, FDOT proposes to widen I-10 from four to six lanes from east of Davis Highway to east of U.S. 90. Widening along I-10 will occur within the existing right-of-way by reducing the median from 64 feet to 40 feet. This project is approximately 2.74 miles in length and will consist of three 12-foot lanes in each direction, 10-foot paved inside and outside shoulders with rumble strips, and a 40-foot median.
The existing travel lanes and paved shoulders will be resurfaced as a part of this project. The Department is scheduled to accept bids in August 2013, with construction anticipated to begin in winter 2013. Construction duration is anticipated to be three years. Additional right-of-way will be required to construct stormwater ponds and improvements along Scenic Highway.
