West Roberts Road Closure Starts Today for $4.6M Reconstruction

Drivers in North Escambia should expect significant traffic disruptions starting today as work crews close a major stretch of West Roberts Road for ongoing reconstruction and drainage improvements.

The closure affects West Roberts Road between Tate Road and Highway 29 as part of a $4.6 million roadway improvement project. According to the project timeline, the road is expected to reopen after Labor Day weekend, weather permitting.

Commuters in the area should plan alternate routes during the closure. The improvements aim to upgrade both the roadway itself and the drainage infrastructure along that corridor.
