Within the hot shot trucking sector, it's always encouraging to read about major road improvements, in this case along the Gulf Coast region which aids in the reliable transportation of hot shot freight. The Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization have announced that transportation improvements required in the region will total about $2.4 billion in cost but also stated that critical improvements in the two states' bordering counties of Escambia and Santa Rosa county will be given top priority.
The extensive transportation plan included a number of major long-term project and includes needed upgrades such as widening sections of Nine Mile Road, U.S. 90 and U.S. 98 along with intersection enhancements at 17th Avenue and Bayfront Parkway which each will benefit traffic in the Mobile/Pensacola region for commercial freight.
The report is the culmination of extensive studies, public forums and partnerships between local, state and federal bodies all tasked with improving and maintaining the transportation infrastructure in the region. In all, more than eighty projects have been identified ranging from road upgrades and widening to safety and multi-use corridor improvements.
