CRESTVIEW — Two projects along Highway 98 totaling $60 million have been added to the Florida Department of Transportation’s tentative five-year plan.
The improvements — for the Florida Legislature's upcoming-session review — will include enhanced capacity and a divided boulevard from the Mid-Bay Bridge Connector to Emerald Bay Drive.
If this project is funded, construction could begin as early as 2017.
Other priorities include:
•$1,020,000 to begin the process for a new I-10 interchange at Antioch Road in Crestview
•$3,731,250 toward multi-laning Highway 331
•$3,700,000 to begin replacing Brooks Bridge
•$56,250 toward multi-laning the Mid-Bay Bridge Connector
•$21,432 toward State Road 189 improvements
