RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning a Temporary Road Closure on Detroit Boulevard for the Completion of a Railroad Crossing Replacement - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director

That the Board adopt and authorize the Chairman to sign a Resolution approving a Temporary Road Closure on Detroit Boulevard, to allow for the completion of a railroad crossing replacement in conjunction with Florida Department of Transportation Project FPID Number 218603-1-52-01, on State Road (SR) 95 (Hwy 29) from I-10 to Nine and One-Half Mile Road.

BACKGROUND:

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) proposes to undertake and complete a multi-lane reconstruction project (FPID Number 218603-1-52-01) on State Road (SR) 95 (Highway 29) from I-10 to Nine and One-Half Mile Road. This project is expected to begin Summer 2016. It is necessary that Detroit Boulevard, owned and maintained by Escambia County, be temporarily closed from Untreiner Avenue to SR 95 (Highway 29) for an approximate duration of three days for the purpose of constructing a turn lane on Detroit Avenue. The turn lane will cross the existing railroad tracks west of Highway 29, which requires that the crossing be upgraded.

There will be a detour available at Untreiner Road north to Hannah Street or south to Broad Street. The temporary road closure will reduce construction time and costs, minimize right-of-way purchase and/or construction easements.

This Resolution is being requested by the FDOT because the closure takes place on a County roadway.
