The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will begin work this month on a $6.3 million project to mill and resurface Mary Esther Boulevard (State Road 393) from U.S. 98 to Beal Parkway in Okaloosa County.

According to the FDOT, the 6.9-mile project also includes minor widening of shoulders and opposing left turn lanes at multiple intersections, sidewalk repairs, and upgrades at pedestrian crossings to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The project also includes drainage improvements, traffic signal loop replacements, new signage, and pavement markings.

During construction, drivers and bicyclists may encounter periodic detours, lane closures, and minor traffic shifts. Access to businesses and other private properties will always be maintained, said the FDOT.

Lane closure restrictions on Mary Esther Boulevard have been divided into the following geographic locations:

  • U.S. 98 to Hollywood Boulevard, Sunday through Thursday evenings between 8:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m.
  • Hollywood Boulevard to Beal Parkway, 8:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. daily.
  • The project is estimated for completion in spring 2024.

All activities are weather dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. 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.
