MELBOURNE, Fla. — Brevard County Commissioner Mary Bolin will host a ribbon-cutting for the opening of the Pineda Extension and I-95 Interchange on Monday, May 2 at 11 a.m.
The completion of this project will give Brevard County another access point and emergency evacuation route to I-95. The Pineda extension will also provide welcome relief to other major arteries such as Wickham Road.
“The Pineda project has been on the drawing board for over 20 years,” stated Commissioner Mary Bolin. “I am excited that the wait is now over; the road will open!”
The public is welcome and encouraged to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Attendees should approach the ceremony from Wickham Road, driving west on the Pineda extension toward Interstate 95.
The Florida Department of Transportation’s portion of the project was just completed, and joins Brevard County’s section, which was finished last year.
