At last week's meeting of the Florida/Alabama Transportation Planning Organization, some fairly significant news was shared with the group assembled in Gulf Breeze.
A long awaited project to resurface the state's Sorrento Road from Bauer Road Eastward to Blue Angel Parkway is fully designed, funded, and will be let to a contract this December.
Currently--this roadway is littered with potholes and uneven pavement. It has also been the scene of numerous fatal accidents over the last several years.
This project will resurface the road, add paved shoulders, and other improvements. The larger project to 4-lane this roadway is moving up the priority list---from #18 (where it lingered under a former commissioner) to now being #6 under new district leadership.
Look for much more on this roadway-but in the meantime--take a look at the project details, below.
