For the sixth year in a row, White Point Road and Lakeshore Drive will experience temporary closures to through traffic on Saturday afternoons, starting from May 27, 2023. These closures will remain in effect until September 2, 2023, occurring between approximately noon and 6 p.m.

This annual closure, which coincides with the Memorial Day to Labor Day period, aims to ensure traffic safety and alleviate congestion on White Point Road and Bluewater Bay, specifically caused by southbound tourism traffic diverting from State Road 293 through residential neighborhoods.

According to Okaloosa County, planning authorities have underscored that the start and end times are approximate, taking into account fluctuations in traffic volume.

In order to inform and guide all drivers, message boards will be placed along State Road 20 and State Road 293 to notify them about the temporary closures. Additionally, Okaloosa County Sheriff’s deputies will be actively managing the seasonal closure and diligently patrolling the area to ensure a smooth flow of traffic.
