MILTON — Overnight repairs to the State Road 399 southbound overpass over U.S. 98 in Santa Rosa County will begin mid-April 2016.
Crews will remove and replace the damaged beam over westbound U.S. 98 and repair portions of the bridge deck connected to the damaged beam. The repairs will allow an additional 9 inches of vertical clearance to the structure.
Expect these restrictions from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. throughout the project:
●U.S. 98 will be reduced to one lane, in each direction, from Shoreline Drive to just east of S.R. 399. This will allow westbound U.S. 98 traffic to be diverted to eastbound U.S. 98.
●Westbound U.S. 98 access to S.R. 399 will be closed. An on-site detour will direct traffic to turn left on Daniel Street, left on Shoreline Drive, and then right on eastbound U.S. 98 to access S.R. 399 via the at grade on ramp.
Access from westbound U.S. 98 to S.R. 399 will be open to traffic from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Southbound S.R. 399 traffic will be shifted to use one of the northbound S.R. 399 lanes.
The project’s expected completion is in mid-May.
