FDOT Hosting Open House for 17^th Avenue Interchange Improvements June 11

The Florida Department of Transportation will hold a public information open house concerning the 17^th Avenue interchange project Tuesday, June 11 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the Studer Community Institute, 220 W. Garden St.

The project involves the State Road 30 (U.S. 98/Gregory Street) and State Road 196 (Bayfront Parkway) at 17^th Avenue interchange.

The intent of this project is to reconstruct the intersection of Gregory Street and Bayfront Parkway at 17th Avenue. The new interchange in conjunction with the new Pensacola Bay Bridge will improve safety conditions and reduce congestion for the approximately 58,000 drivers who pass through this intersection daily.

Maps, drawings and other information will be on display at the meeting. There will be no formal presentation; however, FDOT representatives will be available to discuss planned improvements, answer questions and receive comments. Additional project information is available on nwflroads.com.
