Pensacola Beach Boulevard Temporary Lane Closure Begins June 22

A temporary lane closure will be in effect beginning Monday, June 22 for the northbound inside lane of Pensacola Beach Boulevard, exiting Pensacola Beach, as crews perform necessary road work for the Pensacola Beach Gateway Improvements Project.

Southbound traffic entering Pensacola Beach will not be impacted by the lane closure. Drivers traveling north exiting Pensacola Beach should use extra caution and follow road crew instructions and posted signs when traveling through the work zone. Work will take place between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and is expected to be completed by Friday, June 26, weather permitting.

Work is being performed for the installation of the new toll gantry and its associated equipment as part of the Pensacola Beach Gateway Improvements Project. The new toll gantry will offer enhanced safety features, such as better access for emergency response vehicles, while also helping to reduce congestion at the entrance to Pensacola Beach.

If other roadway closures are necessary or work is delayed, another notice will be issued.
