Proposed improvements to State Road (S.R) 292 (Perdido Key Drive) from the Alabama state line to County Road 292A (Innerarity Point Road/Gulf Beach Highway) in Escambia County, Florida. Financial Project ID# 421011-1-28-01. The proposed improvements consist of both short-term and long-term recommendations. The short-term recommendation consists of the construction of a multi-use path along S.R. 292 (Perdido Key Drive) from the western entrance of Perdido Key State Park to Gongora Drive. This improvement is funded and being advanced. The long-term recommendation is to widen S.R. 292 (Perdido Key Drive) to four lanes, add bicycle lanes and sidewalks/multi-use trail from the Alabama state line to County Road 292A (Innerarity Point Road/Gulf Beach Highway). The widening recommendation is not funded in the local Cost Feasible Plan and consequently not being advanced.
