Crews are installing underground drainage infrastructure near the south end of the Cinco Bayou Bridge as part of the $11.6 million resurfacing project on Eglin Parkway.
- The Florida Department of Transportation said workers are putting in stormwater components designed to direct runoff and support long-term roadway performance along State Road 85. Proper grading and drainage are critical to protecting the roadway structure and improving safety during heavy rain, according to FDOT.
Drivers may encounter intermittent northbound outside lane closures on Eglin Parkway between Yacht Club Drive NE and the Cinco Bayou Bridge during nighttime hours between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. The entrance to Laguna Landing Condominiums will be temporarily closed during the work, with residents accessing Eglin Parkway via Yacht Club Drive NE.
The resurfacing project stretches from U.S. 98 to Richbourg Avenue and includes sidewalk and crosswalk improvements, signalization upgrades, stormwater management enhancements, and new signing and pavement markings. Construction is scheduled for completion in late 2027.
Drivers should use caution when traveling through the work zone, especially at night, and watch for workers and equipment entering and exiting the roadway.
