The Brooks Bridge Replacement Project in Fort Walton Beach is continuing to make progress with the addition of low-profile barrier walls in the median.
- The barrier walls require a slight shift of the U.S. 98 east and westbound travel lanes towards the outside of the roadway, according to FDOT.
On Tuesday morning, the Fort Walton Beach Police Department reported that since the new walls have been put into place, they have been struck multiple times by motorists.
- According to the FWBPD, the walls have disabled every vehicle that has struck them.
The new configuration will have a minor reduction in lane width and is expected to be in place for the next couple of months.
“Just here to remind you to slow down & pay attention in construction zones,” wrote the FWBPD.
