The inside lane of I-10 westbound will be closed between mile markers 55 and 52 from 8 p.m. Thursday, June 29 until 6 a.m. Friday, June 30 in Crestview.

  • The lane closure will allow crews to shift both westbound travel lanes slightly to the south so work can continue on the new I-10/Antioch Road interchange (future Exit 53).
  • The speed limit on this segment of I-10 will remain 60 mph. Law enforcement personnel and directional signage will be positioned to safely assist drivers through the work zone, according to FDOT.

The $73 million construction effort is adding a new I-10 interchange 2.6-miles west of State Road (S.R.) 85 and east of the County Road (C.R.) 4 overpass (Antioch Road). Also included in the effort is widening Antioch Road to four lanes between Arena Road and P.J. Adams Parkway.  

The new I-10 interchange will be signed “Exit 53” and provide an alternative route for the heavily-traveled S.R. 85 corridor. In addition to relieving traffic congestion, the new interchange will improve Okaloosa County evacuation and emergency access routes and enhance regional economic development opportunities. 

  • The interchange construction is tentatively estimated for completion in mid-2026.

All activities are weather-dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather, according to FDOT. 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.
