The City of Fort Walton Beach announced that street resurfacing projects will commence on Monday, July 29, as part of the General Street Resurfacing Project. The work, scheduled to continue through Friday, August 16, will be carried out by utilities contractor James David Site Prep.

• Multiple areas within the city will undergo milling and resurfacing. The project will begin on Hudson Drive NW between Moriarty Street NW and Fliva Avenue NW before moving on to other locations.

Other areas slated for resurfacing include:

• Sotir Street NW between Memorial Parkway NW and Bayou Woods Drive NW
• Bayou Woods Drive NW between Sotir Street NW and Baker Avenue NW
• Staff Drive NE between Ferry Road NE and 221 Staff Drive NE
• Ferry Road SE between Hollywood Boulevard NE and Perry Avenue SE
• The newly constructed Pickle Ball court at Ferry Park

City officials emphasized that all activities are weather-dependent and dates may be adjusted accordingly.

Residents along the affected streets will receive letters before work begins in their area. The city requests that all vehicles and obstructions be removed from the roads between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. during the milling and resurfacing work.

• To accommodate the construction, Solid Waste pickup has been scheduled for early morning. Residents are asked to set out their trash cans the night before their scheduled pickup day.

The city warned that there is a possibility of tack, an asphalt bonding material, being present on the road during the resurfacing process. Residents are advised to avoid the resurfacing area if possible to prevent potential transfer to vehicles.

“We would like to thank you for your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause,” the city statement read.
