Visitor's Guide to U.S. 98 Construction Work

The 2018 spring break season is here, which means higher traffic volumes on area roadways. This is especially true for U.S. 98, which is currently the focus of a $77.5 million construction program to widen it from four to six travel lanes between Airport Road in Okaloosa County and Tang-O-Mar Drive in Walton County.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is requesting your help to reach visitors in Okaloosa and Walton Counties to provide U.S. 98 construction information. Click here to download the Visitor's Guide to U.S. 98 Construction Work.
