The Florida Department of Transportation will begin work in March to resurface State Road 293 from the Mid-Bay Bridge to Range Road in Okaloosa County.
According to an FDOT news release, improvements along the three-mile corridor include:
No lane closures will occur from 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Work is scheduled to be completed mid-2026.
“Construction activities are weather dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather,” the release said. “Drivers are reminded to use caution, especially at night, when traveling through a work zone and to watch for construction workers and equipment entering and exiting the roadway. Speeding fines are doubled when workers are present.”
