The City of Destin will begin a series of roadway resurfacing projects later this month, with work scheduled to start July 20, weather permitting.

H&T Contractors will perform the work in two phases, according to the city.

The first phase will cover North Lakeside Drive and Misty Way. Milling operations are scheduled for July 20 through July 24, with paving to follow July 27 through July 29.

Crews will then move to Driftwood Lane, Driftwood Court and Park Court, where milling is scheduled for July 30 and July 31 and paving is anticipated July 31 through Aug. 1. Final cleanup and removal of traffic control devices is scheduled for Aug. 3.

During construction, residents and motorists should expect temporary lane closures, intermittent traffic delays and brief periods where access may be restricted while fresh asphalt is being placed, the city said.

The city is asking drivers to slow down in work zones, follow directions from flaggers and avoid parking on affected streets during active construction.
