A stretch of Antioch Road in Crestview will be temporarily closed for one week beginning Monday as crews work to connect the roadway to the new P.J. Adams Parkway alignment.

The Florida Department of Transportation announced that Antioch Road will close just south of the P.J. Adams Parkway intersection starting March 16. The closure is expected to remain in place through Monday, March 23.

Drivers who need to access Antioch Road south of P.J. Adams Parkway should follow a detour via Wildhorse Drive. Detour signage will be in place to guide drivers through the work zone.

The closure is part of the $72.7 million Interstate 10 at P.J. Adams Parkway interchange project in Okaloosa County, which will create future Exit 53. The project is the first new interchange added to the I-10 corridor in decades. Once complete, the new exit is expected to improve safety and reduce congestion by providing an alternative I-10 access point for travelers in north Crestview.

All work is weather dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled due to inclement weather. FDOT is reminding drivers to use caution when traveling through the work zone, particularly at night, and to watch for construction workers and equipment entering and exiting the roadway.
