State Road 285 will be closed temporarily on March 26 as the 96th Test Wing conducts testing operations on the Eglin Test and Training Range.

  • The closure will affect SR 285 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., though officials said no single closure will exceed 90 minutes. Multiple closure periods may occur throughout the six-hour window.

Motorists should plan alternate routes during these times. The Air Force has scheduled backup mission dates for March 27 and April 3 during the same timeframe if needed.
