Contractors will close a major intersection in Fort Walton Beach for nearly a week while performing right-of-way work, according to Okaloosa County officials.

The intersection of Denton Boulevard and Racetrack Road will be closed from October 24-29, 2024. The closure will be in effect daily from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

County officials said detour signs will be posted to help drivers navigate around the closure. Motorists are advised to plan alternative routes during the construction period.

The project is scheduled during daytime hours only, allowing for normal traffic flow during evening and overnight periods.
