I-110 Improvements Project Nears Completion
The I-110 improvements project is nearly complete. The $58 million effort is widening Interstate 110 to six lanes between the Airport Boulevard overpass and Maxwell Street. The Davis Highway and Fairfield Drive interchanges have also been improved. The construction team is currently cleaning the work zone and completing final work items. The project is scheduled for completion in mid-to-late 2009.

I-110 Airport Boulevard-Brent Lane Split Diamond Project Update
The Interstate110/Airport Boulevard –Brent Lane split diamond interchange
project is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2009. The primary features of the work include an off-ramp from I-110 southbound to Airport Boulevard and a service road that connects to Brent Lane. Also included is an off-ramp from I-110 northbound to Brent Lane that connects via a service road to Airport Boulevard.

Meantime, work continues on Airport Boulevard. Workers are paving the travel lanes and ramps connecting to I-110. Once the paving work is complete, access to Interstate 110 north and southbound will be available from Airport Boulevard.

A new interchange at Airport Boulevard will provide a direct, four-lane connection between the interstate system and Pensacola Gulf Coast Regional Airport. Archer Western Contractors, Ltd. began work on the $41 million construction project in February 2007 and completion is scheduled in mid-to-late 2009.

I-10/110 Interchange Complete
Work on Pensacola’s Interstate 10/110 interchange upgrade has concluded. Crews from Archer-Western Contractors, Ltd. put the finishing touches on the $76 million construction project in September 2008. The project has expanded Interstate 10 to six lanes, between Davis Highway (Exit 13) and U.S. 29 (Exit 10), and widened Interstate 110 to six lanes between the I-10/110 interchange and the Airport Boulevard overpass. The work has improved mobility and enhanced safety for Interstate 10 and 110 travelers.

In addition to increasing capacity to six lanes, the project also features improvements for the I-10/110 and I-10/Davis Highway interchanges. A signature feature of the project is the flyover ramp at the I-10-110 interchange that carries I-10 westbound traffic seamlessly to Interstate 110.

Pensacola honors Blue Angels
The new I- 10/110 interchange includes a tribute to the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels and commemorates the city’s role as “the cradle of Naval aviation.” One hundred thirty replica aircraft adorn the concrete supports at the interchange in honor of the Navy’s precision flying team that is based at Naval Air Station Pensacola. The design feature is the result of community recommendations received by the Florida Department of Transportation during the planning phase of the project.
