U.S. 98 eastbound traffic, between Fallin Waters Drive and the Hurlburt Field runway, in Okaloosa County will be shifted to the newly constructed adjacent lanes the week of Monday, Aug. 25. Plans call for a similar westbound traffic shift in September that will allow construction to begin in the center portion of the roadway to elevate the U.S. 98 travel lanes above Cody Avenue.
Drivers are reminded to obey the lower posted 35 mph speed limit in the work zone. The lane shift will be in place until the completion of the project in summer 2015.
All planned construction activities are weather dependent and may be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather.
