Okaloosa County

New traffic patterns including lane shifts will begin Monday on P.J. Adams Parkway in Okaloosa County.

Between Highway 85 and the Ashley fire station, eastbound and westbound traffic will be separated by the median, with westbound traffic moved to the new westbound lanes, according to the Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners.

Between the Ashley fire station and west of Wild Horse near Lustan Drive, eastbound and westbound traffic will remain two-way in its current location.

From Lustan Drive to Crab Apple Avenue, both eastbound and westbound traffic will shift south to the new eastbound lanes.

  • Near Crab Apple Avenue, the two-way traffic will shift north to the existing roadway.

Multiple funding sources are being used for the Southwest Crestview Bypass project, including voter-approved infrastructure surtax funding.
