The Florida Department of Transportation has issued a traffic advisory for Okaloosa and Walton counties this week. These roads include:

  • State Road (S.R.) 20 (John Sims Parkway) for a resurfacing project
  • S.R. 85 for a resurfacing project from John Sims Parkway to College Boulevard
  • Brooks Bridge for a replacement project
  • U.S. 98 for a bridge rehabilitation project over the East Pass Bridge
  • S.R. 85 (Eglin Parkway) for routine bridge maintenance over Cinco Bayou
  • S.R. 85 (Eglin Parkway) for routine bridge maintenance over Garniers Bayou
  • U.S. 98 for a resurfacing project from Village Road to East of U.S. 331

While construction crews are still on site for these projects, there will be no lane closures during the Spring Break season. However, motorists may encounter intermittent lane closures north of U.S. 98 on S.R. 85 for routine bridge maintenance on March 13 and 14. 

All activities are weather-dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. Drivers are reminded to use caution, especially at night, when traveling through a work zone and to watch for construction workers and equipment entering and exiting the roadway.
