PENSACOLA, Fla. — Several roads remain closed Wednesday in Pensacola following Tuesday’s winter storm.

“The snowplows and front-end loaders worked overnight to de-ice, sand, and clear all 17 critical roads throughout the city,” the city of Pensacola said in an update Wednesday morning. “Today, our Public Works team will focus on keeping critical roadways accessible by clearing slushy-ice. Only one lane will be clear on many of the critical roads, so the public is asked to remain at home to prevent the delay of emergency responders.”

Here are the current road closures:

  • 12th Ave. between Bayou Blvd and Fairfield Dr.
  • Davis Highway between Airport Boulevard and Langley Avenue.
  • 17th Ave at the railroad trestle
  • 9th Ave. between Bayou Blvd. and Royce St.
  • Chappie James Jr. Bridge (Pensacola Bay Bridge)

City of Pensacola offices and facilities will remain closed and continue operating at reduced capacity on Thursday.

“We are taking a close look at weather and road conditions for the remainder of the week and will have updates as they become available,” the city says.
