Road work slows traffic on I-10, local state roads this week

Drivers crossing Escambia and Santa Rosa counties should expect construction-related delays this week as maintenance crews tackle several state road projects.

The Florida Department of Transportation says work is underway on Interstate 10 with resurfacing operations east of U.S. 231, along with activity on other state routes throughout the region. The agency typically posts weekly construction notices to alert commuters to potential slowdowns during peak travel times.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time for trips and watch for work zone signs. For real-time traffic updates and detailed project information, drivers can check the FDOT website or local traffic reports before heading out.
