Improvements to the
intersection of Perdido Key Drive and River Road
Work has just been completed on improvements to the intersection of
Perdido Key Drive and River Road. A section running west from
approximately the Shrimp Basket restaurant driveway into the first few
hundred feet of Perdido Key State Recreation Area has been widened. A
center lane was installed. It has provided for a right hand turn lane
onto River Rd from the east and a left hand turn lane into the County
Beach Access #3 coming from the west. The entire section has been
resurfaced and restriped. Especially appreciated is the paved shoulders
installed are approximately two feet wider on both sides than the
shoulders on the existing pavement. It would nice to see the entire
roadway resurfaced with wider shoulders. The work was done by Panhandle
Paving. Commissioner Valentino reported the cost was $414,000. |
