The Florida Department of Transportation will begin work in July on a $4.3 million construction project to mill and resurface a 2.2-mile segment of S.R. 285 from S.R. 20 (John Sims Parkway) to south of S.R. 293 (Mid-Bay Bridge Connector) in Okaloosa County.

The project also includes:

New sidewalks on the west side of S.R. 285 from Adams Street to College Boulevard.
Signalization upgrades.
Sidewalk enhancements including American with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades.

Drivers may experience intermittent, temporary lane closures between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., according to FDOT. Lane closures and traffic impacts will not be permitted during holidays, special events, or home football games at C.W. Ruckel Middle School and Niceville High School. Pedestrians may be temporarily detoured while sidewalk work is performed.

The project is estimated for completion in spring 2024.
