The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) launched a resurfacing project on State Road 285 from College Boulevard to the Walton County line through Okaloosa County on Sunday, with nighttime lane closures beginning February 9.

The lane closures will be in effect from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. throughout the duration of the project, with one lane remaining open to traffic at all times. During active construction periods, the speed limit will be reduced to 45 mph.

FDOT officials note that all construction activities are weather dependent and may face delays or rescheduling if inclement weather occurs.

Motorists are urged to exercise caution while traveling through the work zone, particularly during nighttime hours, and to remain alert for construction workers and equipment moving in and out of the roadway.
