9-Mile Road in Beulah Traffic Shift Today----We are Now Using Both Sides of the Road! We're Getting There!!

It is coming along, and this is a big step forward that constituents in Beulah will greatly appreciate! From the project team:

"All:

Last night Roads, Inc. Of Northwest Florida shifted the westbound 9-Mile Road traffic off of the inside eastbound roadway to the outside westbound roadway between the Beulah Middle School and Navy Federal Way. This new traffic control phase places the traffic on the Segment 6 project (The Project between Beulah Middle School and I-10) onto the appropriate lanes (eastbound on the eastbound roadway and westbound on the westbound roadway). Eastbound traffic remains in a single lane. It does not make sense to try to re-stripe the roadway, open to 2 lanes and then immediately close it back to 1-lane to complete the remaining median work at Security Place, Heritage Oaks, and Navy Federal Way.

Westbound traffic remains in 1-lane between Foxtail Loop and Navy Federal Way. This allows the contractor to have the inside lanes to complete the construction of the eastbound left turn lanes into Security Place and Heritage Oaks as well as complete the construction of the concrete traffic island at Security Place and Traffic Separator at Navy Federal Way. However, Roads,Inc. Was able to open the westbound roadway to both lanes from the beginning of the project (Beulah Middle School) to the left turn lane for Foxtail Loop since they had been able to full construct the median work between those points. There are some minor signal issues that we are addressing. Due to the temporary nature some signal equipment is the new equipment and some is the old. As the transfer to the new is worked through we will see the compatibility issues be resolved."
