CITY OF PENSACOLA: City Road Closure Information Available Online

Roafd

City of Pensacola issued the following announcement on Oct. 28

With road closures possible due to Hurricane Zeta, City of Pensacola residents are reminded that real-time road closures are available online on the city's road closures map

The Pensacola area is expected to see 2-4 feet of storm surge from Hurrican

eta, which is forecast to move into the area as a strong tropical storm tonight, according to National Weather Service of Mobile.

Storm surge may cause roadway flooding, particularly in low-lying areas such as downtown Pensacola. Drivers are urged to stay off the roads until the storm has passed through the area and is no longer a threat.

When approaching standing water in the roadway, remember to Turn Around Don't Drown.

Never drive around the barriers blocking a flooded road. The road may have collapsed under that water. A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. It takes just 12 inches of rushing water to carry away most cars, and just 2 feet of rushing water can carry away SUVs and trucks. It is never safe to drive or walk into flood waters
