Antioch Road in Crestview will be closed to through traffic October 26-29, 2021. Traffic must be detoured temporarily for these three days to allow Florida Gulf & Atlantic Railroad to repave their rail crossing for a smoother path for motorists.

Antioch Road will reopen for through traffic on Friday, October 30. Roadside message boards are being placed at the railroad crossing so that motorists have a chance to prepare.

“We are aware that Antioch Road is a significant daily route for many in our community,” said Okaloosa County Commissioner Nathan Boyles. “We are looking forward to a much smoother commute upon completion of the repave.”

Motorists headed south from Highway 90 are asked to travel straight through to Highway 85 instead of cutting through Antioch Road and P.J. Adams Parkway.
