$4M resurfacing project to begin on Highway 98, S.R. 293 in Destin

The Florida Department of Transportation will start work on a stretch of U.S. 98 and State Road 293 with nighttime lane closures expected through late 2026.

The Florida Department of Transportation will begin a $4 million resurfacing project that includes U.S. 98 from Paraiso Boulevard to Regions Way and S.R. 293 (Danny Wuerffel Way) from the base of the Mid-Bay Bridge to U.S. 98 in Destin.

  • The project also includes an access management change that will permanently close the U.S. 98 median opening at Regions Way. All left-turn movements at this intersection will be removed.

During construction, drivers and pedestrians may encounter periodic nighttime lane closures Sunday through Thursday between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. The speed limit will be reduced to 35 mph.

The work is scheduled for completion in late 2026.

The project is part of FDOT’s continued effort to improve safety and traffic flow along the corridor, which serves approximately 53,500 drivers daily.
