17th Avenue Interchange Project – Pensacola Bay Bridge

The 17th Avenue interchange
is fully open.

Work to complete the new 17th Avenue interchange is complete and the interchange is fully open. The interchange is designed to improve safety and traffic flow at the Pensacola landing of the new bridge. Central components of the new interchange include a flyover that connects Pensacola Bay Bridge westbound traffic with East Gregory Street and Bayfront Parkway. Beneath the flyover, a new single-lane roundabout has replaced the traffic signal formerly at 17th Avenue to provide seamless travel between the bridge, 17th Avenue north and southbound, East Gregory Street, and Bayfront Parkway.
