Okaloosa County:

— State Road 85 Improvements from S.R. 123 to Hospital Drive
Drivers will encounter intermittent, temporary northbound lane closures on S.R. 85 between the Shoal River Bridge and Hospital Drive. The lane closures will be from 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. for paving operations. One travel lane will remain open at all times and access to private property and driveways will be maintained, the FDOT said.

 — S.R. 20 (John Sims Parkway) Resurfacing Project
Drivers may encounter intermittent outside westbound lane closures on S.R. 20 from Edge Avenue to west of the Rocky Bayou Bridge. The lane closures will be from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. and are for repair and sidewalk construction along the north side of the roadway, according to the FDOT.

Walton County:

 — U.S. 98 Widening from Emerald Bay Drive to Tang-O-Mar Drive
Drivers will encounter intermittent and alternating lane closures on U.S. 98 east and westbound between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. The FDOT said the closures are required for asphalt paving, cutting traffic signal detection loops, and additional work list items. Additionally, paving work on County Road 2378 (Scenic Gulf Drive) at U.S. 98 will require flagmen to direct drivers through the work zone.

According to the FDOT, the speed limit will be reduced from 55 mph to 45 mph between Village Road and U.S. 331.
