The right lane of I-10 eastbound, between mile markers 52 and 53 in Crestview, will be closed from 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 19 until 6 a.m. Thursday, April 20, according to the Florida Department of Transportation.

Crews will temporarily shift I-10 eastbound traffic slightly to the south, onto the newly constructed travel lanes, so that work may continue on the new I-10/Antioch Road interchange.
The speed limit on this segment of I-10 will remain 60 mph.

The $73-million construction effort is adding a new I-10 interchange approximately 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-2025.

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.
