FORT WALTON BEACH — U.S. 98 westbound traffic near Hurlburt Field will shift to newly constructed elevated travel lanes the morning of Saturday, July 18.
Once traffic shifts, drivers headed for Hurlburt Field's main gate and the base's soundside area will continue using the current alignment by exiting U.S. 98 to the right as they approach Cody Avenue.
Plans call for shifting U.S. 98 eastbound traffic later this month. All planned construction activities are weather dependent and may be re-scheduled in the event of inclement weather.
