Traffic on State Road 85 North in Okaloosa County will shift at the S.R. 85N/State Road123 intersection the week of June 22.
Northbound traffic will shift onto a new temporary two-lane roadway; southbound traffic will transition to existing northbound lanes. The speed limit will remain 45 mph, so use extra caution when traveling through the construction zone as drivers adjust to the new traffic pattern.
The new traffic signal configuration at the intersection will cycle through red, yellow and green for all traffic. Northbound travelers should prepare to stop as the continuous green, northbound light will no longer exist.
The traffic shift will allow crews to set structural steel beams for the new flyover bridge. As bridge construction progresses, additional traffic shifts will occur.
