Florida Department of Transportation Hard at Work in Escambia County

In 2002, the Florida Department of Transportation began a multi-year construction program to modernize Interstates 10 and 110 in Escambia County. The program represented more than $400 million of construction work to improve mobility and enhance safety on the local interstate highways.

The following projects were completed in 2008:

• Widening Interstate 10 to six lanes between Davis Highway (Exit 13) and U.S. Highway 29 (Exit 10); and, widening I-110 to six lanes between the Interstate 10/110 interchange and the Airport Boulevard overpass.
• Replacement of the Interstate 10/Escambia Bay Bridge that was destroyed in 2004 by Hurricane Ivan.

Slated for completion in the late 2008/early 2009 time frame are the following projects:

• Widening Interstate 110 to six lanes between the Airport Boulevard overpass and Maxwell Street.
• Construction of a new Interstate 110 interchange at Airport Boulevard.
