Traffic on U.S. 98 westbound, between the Hurlburt Field runway and Cody Avenue in Okaloosa County, will be shifted toward the median Thursday night, Sept. 4. The shift will allow crews to begin construction of the new westbound roadway and exit-ramp from U.S. 98 to Cody Avenue. The traffic shift will remain in place for approximately three weeks.
Drivers are reminded to obey the lower posted 35 mph speed limit and refrain from unnecessary lane changes in the work zone.
All planned construction activities are weather dependent and may be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather.
