I-10 night lane closures at U.S. 29 and Nine Mile Road, Garden Street at one lane each way, B Street work. Who to call, plus FL511 and FDOT links.

Last checked Oct. 20, 2026. This page is refreshed weekly. Sources: the City of Pensacola’s Road Closures & Road Work page, Alert Center and Oct. 19 recovery update, Escambia County’s road and traffic page, FL511 and FDOT work zone data, and the Florida Department of Transportation District 3’s Escambia and Santa Rosa traffic advisory of Oct. 2. FDOT has still not posted a newer Escambia advisory since Hurricane Isaias, so next week’s night work schedule on state roads could not be confirmed.

Three governments run the roads in Pensacola. The Florida Department of Transportation, District 3, owns the interstates and state highways, including I-10, I-110, U.S. 98, U.S. 90 and U.S. 29. Escambia County maintains county roads. The city’s Public Works & Engineering department maintains city streets.

I-10 night lane closures this week

FL511 still listed the I-10 night work that started Oct. 13 on the evening of Oct. 19:

  • Eastbound at Exit 10 (U.S. 29/Pensacola Boulevard): right lane blocked.
  • Westbound near mile marker 11: left lane blocked.
  • Westbound at Exit 5 (Nine Mile Road): work at the ramp, with both shoulders blocked.

  • Eastbound at mile marker 9: both shoulders blocked.
  • U.S. 29 southbound near I-10: right shoulder closed since Sept. 11.

FL511 gives no end date for these. Most of the work is at night, and all of it depends on the weather. The longer FDOT projects behind them are listed below.

City street closures

B Street and Intendencia Street. Closed to through traffic for a 54-inch storm pipe. The city expected the work to be done by Oct. 19, weather permitting, but its closure notice was still posted on Oct. 20 and the city had not announced a reopening, so the reopening could not be confirmed. Traffic is detoured, and residents can still reach their homes. It is part of the Main Street Flooding and Adaptation Project: drainage, sewer upgrades, new sidewalks and curbs, and repaving, due to wrap up before Thanksgiving. Questions go to City Engineering at 850-435-1685.

The New Palafox. Palafox Street, West Romana, West Intendencia and East and West Government streets reopened June 1. East Romana, East Intendencia, Fred Levin Way and East Zarragossa Street stayed closed while work continues, reopening in phases, according to the city’s June 1 alert. Details at thenewpalafox.com.

Fiber-optic work. Crews for AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and FPL are laying fiber in city rights-of-way in all four council districts on staggered schedules. The Lumos (T-Mobile) job in Districts 2 and 4 runs through Oct. 26, and the longest runs through Jan. 31, 2027. Expect short lane closures; the street lists are on the city’s road work page.

Hurricane Isaias: blocked streets

The city has taken down its Oct. 11 list of streets closed after Isaias, and its Oct. 19 recovery update does not list any road still closed. That does not mean every street is clear. Escambia County’s road closure map, last updated Oct. 17, still showed trees and power lines across a number of city and county streets, so check it before you drive.

Storm debris pickup is the main thing on the road now. The city said Oct. 19 that its hauler, D&J, had collected more than 1 million cubic yards of vegetative debris, that the first pass through the city should take four to five weeks, and that there will be at least two passes. Expect slow-moving debris trucks on residential streets. Put storm debris at the curb, away from the roadway, with tree limbs and leaves kept apart from building materials, fencing and furniture. The city’s debris removal tracker shows progress.

FL511 reported a disabled vehicle on the Pensacola Bay Bridge and another on the I-10 Escambia Bay Bridge on the evening of Oct. 19, so both were carrying traffic. Treat any dark traffic signal as a four-way stop.
